Guess what ? We watch the Scottie's for most of the day. We did however call a timeout and when to the show, " A Dog's Purpose " with our friends. This movie was shot in Virden, Brandon and Minnidosa and demonstrates how a dog effects the life of a family in a most enjoyable way. It does display a little bit of a love story and doesn't take any intensive thinking to follow the plot.
After the show we convinced our friends to go to Mr. Gattis for supper since they had never been there. It is a Buffet style Pizza " Joint " that also serves Bake potato, Pasta, Salad Bar and several desserts.
Unfortunately , this happens to be Saturday night and every Hispanic family within 100 miles also chose Mr. Gattis as their choice of Venue for tonight. I believe that all young Hispanic couples have made a pact with the " Lord " to produce at least 5 "screaming" kids and to bring them to Mr. Gattis just to piss-off us Gringos.
Because this is a Buffet, lots of the food is wasted but I notice that 3 young guys in their early 20's each took two plates of pizza and pasta and they each left 1 plate that was never touch. I ask the young girl Busing the tables, how much food was wasted and she said , not counting the adults, she said the rest of the customers probably waste 1/2 of what they take which is dam sin. And price for Kids is 4. 99 and for Seniors.... 5.99. Cheers

This morning we had breakfast with our friends Larry and Holly as this is the last Sunday for them as they leave next Sunday for home as they sold their home in Texas. They have been coming to Weslaco, TX for 23 years so it will be sad for them but due to their age they decided to sell now as they had a "willing " buyer.
The rest of the day was committed to watching both the Bronze medal and the Gold Medal curling game of the Scottie's. Any of the 4 finalist would be a good representative for Canada at the World's but I feel the Holman team is the best. However, we are in enemy territory in this Park as the majority are from Manitoba. Cheers

This was a totally wasted day in our life. I did nothing all day and Carroll helped me.
After supper Carroll's friend talked her in to going to Bingo, which she detest but had nothing better to do. I also figure that Bingo is right there with watching the rinse cycle in the washing machine.
I , on the other hand, went to play cards " euchre " where at least you have to think a little. Although, there was a few times when some folks had a Senior moment but it helps to kill 2 hours and the Oilers where on a day off. Cheers
Stop trying to make everyone Happy ; You are not on Tequila.
