Outing

The librarian at the East Jordan Public Library wanted to learn how to enroll people in a Part D Drug Plan, so she called the Agency and made an appointment with Dick to meet with her this morning at 10:00 at the library in East Jordan. He told me that if I went with him, he would take me out to lunch! Who could resist? It takes us a little over an hour to drive there, and we had to stop for gas, so we were a little late arriving. The library is on the same grounds with their wonderful new High School that we visited on the evening of November 30.

While he was closeted with the librarians, I was out in the reading room reading magazines. They had some great ones - cooking, quilting, scrapbooking, and antiques roadshow for example. I copied recipes - apricot chicken, buttery garlic potatoes, three beans and sausage in the slow cooker, and rich creamy macaroni and cheese for example. The scrapbooking magazine yielded many websites for me to research, some cyber coupons for nice discounts, and sites for free fonts. I felt it was a very productive 2 hours.

Lunch was at the LumberJack Grill - I just had a burger, and Dick had a taco salad. By now the sun had come out, and it was beautiful for the drive home. It's 35 degrees today - almost feels like spring. Not really.
