A busy day....

After our usual morning routine of reading the newspaper,  breakfast,  and a swim in the warm lovely sunshine,  we headed out to Palm Desert Library to pick up a book Jim needs for his current research project and picked up some DVD's.  Then lunch at Applebee's...they had a deal on two entrees for $12.95.  Jim had lime chicken and I had wonton shrimp...both excellent with rice and lots of veggies so very healthy.  Loads of shrimp in mine and I tasted Jim's chicken and I was amazed at the quality.

Then to Rancho Mirage Library to return DVD's,  then a $5 car wash which includes a free vacuum.  We often get a free coupon for a car wash from this place in our newspaper but one hadn't appeared so we actually had to pay for it this time.  Then to Target where Jim got a couple of pairs of jeans and we did a grocery shop there for things we needed.   And we saw one of our favourite frozen quick entree meals that you can't get in Canada.  These are really unbelievable quality,  perfect for two,  and are cooked in a skillet in 11 minutes.  Super to have on hand.

We watched one of the DVD's tonight,  "Our Man in Havana" based on the Graham Green novel.  I think we had seen parts of it and of course we have both read the novel.  We really enjoyed it.
