Robin came down today which was Superbowl Sunday and took me over in his T Bird to visit Kay. because the T Bird will only hold two people we had to get a Cab to take us to the Old Country Buffet as it will not hold three. Kay ate like she had not eaten for days. They tried to tell me she had not lost weight when I said she was losing weight but the way she eats it didn't look like it. She ate lots of cottage cheese, baked beans, and any other thing that Robin got for her. She has no trouble eating regular food as none of it was Puree'd at all. I would like to get to the bottom of this if she is not eating the food there at the Cascade Gardens. But we always have a good time when she is taken out by anyone. Robin said Mary has pneumonia and has had it for some time. I got over mine right away fortunately.
There had been a lot of touting by the company about events to be going on in celebration of Superbowl Sunday like treats an o'r derve table I doubt that is spelled right. But actually it was the most amateurish effort, There was supposed to be a lavish table of crackers, cheeses, spreads. You know what is involved in creating a professional laid out table. No doubt you have been to many over your life. Normally I would not comment on this it was touted to be such a great event in honor of the Superbowl but it was so bad I could not believe it. First was a plate of some slices of white and yellow cheese that we usually get on our hamburgers. Then there was some very normasl crackers, potato chips, some chicken wings. I had to ask for a napkin as the wings were very sloppy of course. But good other wise. Then we had ONE spread. Topped off with a package of Oreo cookies of a flavor I had never tasted in an Oreo. I could have just about put on as lavish a spread from what is in my refrigerator I think! I was really looking forward for this but I was hugely disappointed. I fondly remember going to some thing like this and trying something new. I thought it was supposed to start at 2 but it kept being pushed back until I just came down after 3. Dinner was supposed to be hamburgers which I like very much as they normally provide enough makin's for a good do it yourself burger. I got in the dining room after they had made a run through and when they got to me I had to wait awhile because the head cook said it was chaos in the kitchen. Making hamburgers? They made them without allowing us to pick what we wanted on them. A nice piece of onion is something I like but there was no onion at all. I like to pick out the makin's and leave out the buns because I am diabetic. All in all it was a huge disaster as far as I can see. They have a routine and when they get out of it things go to pot looks like. But I suppose they tried. Besides the SeaHawks clobbered the Bronco's. Fortunately in a week they may be tired of talking about it and we can get back to normalcy Christmas is not as big a deal as the Seahawks. At least after Christmas they stop talking about it. This has been going on forever it seems like.
I had tom buy another Chromecaster to try broadcasting my computer to my bedroom TV. But it didn't even fire up the ROM in the device so I have already repacked it and am ready for Tom to take it back to WalMart. Too bad, I would have liked something that could do what it was supposed to do. No pictures today as my camera battery was dead.
