03-09-23 Blew the Calorie Budget today
Today was burger day for me in the middle of Burger Month in Cranbrook. For March, there are 16 restaurants all featuring an off the menu specialty burger and side for $20 with $5 of each one going to the Women’s Resource Centre. If you complete your card with 7 different ones you get a free beer at the end. It’s a win-win, good food and a good cause. I am not usually a burger person and a couple of them have had ingredients that give me indigestion, but still so worth trying them. Today I had lunch with a friend at the Fire Hall and had the Vagabond of Dinktown (Cranbrook’s nickname) and then a late dinner with Rae-Anne at Bayleaf Indian Fusion for the Butter Chicken Burger. I want everyone to try it, it was so messy that I ate it with a knife and fork.
When I was done what I needed to at the office I met Bill and he came and jump started Mom’s car, and then filled her low tires back at his place where we had a great garage visit over a couple beer. It is so nice to be friends after all these years. Not everyone is as lucky as we are to all be family after an acrimonious divorce 35 or so years ago. Rae-Anne and I had a good visit and catch up after taking Mom her laundry and making sure she was all good. I had a good talk with her brother and caught him up on all that is going on. I do love my Uncle Bryan.
Tomorrow I have a client in office in the morning and have to go to one late afternoon. In between I have a mission to take Mom’s car to the Subaru dealer and see what it is worth to sell and to get her some slippers like mine that she can slip on to walk about. And if I have energy left, I will go to the hockey game. Guess I had better get some rest!
