Porto's and Tag day 9

 

Last night it was pretty chilly and I woke up with a stuffy nose and cough. I took some Alka Seltzer Plus, fed Lulu, took her outside to do her business, and didn't feel like getting back to bed. So, instead, I decided to go to Porto's and use the $10 credit they gave me.
I got there at about 10M and there was a long line all the way to the parking lot. I went right to the entrance and told the person there that I came to get a credit (they were only letting a few at a time inside) but she told me to go right to the bakery where they have the cakes and tell them about the credit. They asked for my phone and said yes we have you down for a $10 credit, he asked me what I wanted, and I had a little list made (good thinking on my part) he rang them and then deducted my credit. This is what I ordered: 2 potato balls spiced, 2 meat pies, 2 cheese pastries, 2 chocolate twists, 1 churro croissant, 1 slice of chocolate cake, 1 mango ball, and 1 refugiado. He said he'd go fill the order right away. He came back with two big bags and I said thank you and left, sort of surprised by the large bags. When I came home and checked what I got, I found out I got everything I ordered PLUS double potato balls, double meat pies and double cheese pastries AND a dulce de leche roll.
It was so large I cut it in half and gave half to Amy :)

I have enough food for the week!!!
Thanks Portos, great service

SEPTEMBER RECAP

 

Fall Mood

Another hot month!

The 2 main happenings in September were the death of Queen Elizabeth at 96 years old on September 8. and her funeral September 19 (I watched everything, the pomp, the ceremony, the drama. May she RIP.

The other big happening was the terrible Hurricane Ian on September 27th, which decimated some Florida coastal towns and was felt by most areas of Florida, and coastal Georgia. It will be a long time before they recover.

Here at home, things were pretty good, but for the heat.  

Lizzie went to Pasadena to see Jeff in concert on 9/8.    I got my hair cut and color, no more blonde, back to light brown.   9/13, Lizzie went to SD today for the weekend :)     Mia turned 68 and is feeling better.    We went to eat out a few times and to Porto's a couple of times.   On 9/9 Lizzie had the flu and shingles shot, and I had a flu shot, Sandy had her flu and  Covid booster on 9/30.   Lulu had a nice bath.   I had a severe allergy attack on 9/23 and was feeling sick for a couple of days.  The planet Jupiter was the closest to the Earth and it was nice to see it so bright in the night sky.  T has a girlfriend :)    9/21 First day of Fall.

The girls are very much looking forward to the trip to Greece in October!!!
