Holy Cow...or Bull in this case

Nov. 25 Tucson

Yesterday I sent Al to the grocery store for a few items. Now, those of you who know Al really well know that this may turn into an all day outing and with him returning with several more items than what was on the list. Yesterday was no exception. However, he had a story to tell as well.

Apparently while he was shopping in our local grocery store near the house he had a strange encounter with a ...bull? Our area is still fairly "country" and is still a free range area. Yesterday while in Basha's store, a free range bull decided to do some grocery shopping! Al said he was in the back of the store near the meat counter when an announcement was made for all shoppers to go to the back of the store. Al, being ever curious, went to the front of the store (he doesn't follow directions well) and lo and behold, there was a bull in the store and the store employees were trying to get him out! The bull had been in the parking lot earlier and decided to walk up to the store, where he tripped the automatic doors and he decided a little shopping was in order! Al said the bull was really having a hard time walking on those slippery floors and he was scared as well (probably had seen his mom in the meat counter!!) and he was having a hard time staying upright and getting out of the store. After a few minutes, he finally sauntered outside. And that, my friends, ain't no bull!

We had our Thanksgiving feast yesterday. Ugh..I am still stuffed. Dick and Lano are still here, Jack and Suzi were here along with Cortney, Holly, Bruce and their nephew Wyatt and our good friend Bob Grabow. All were sufficiently full by 8:00 p.m. Lano and I cooked dinner as usual, I don't know if I can do a turkey dinner without her here anymore, we have done them together for the past 5 or so years and always have fun doing them. We did the normal turkey, dressing, (not stuffing Cortney) mashed taters, gravy, sweet potato pie, broccoli casserole, green bean casserole, cranberries, etc. Now tonight will be a repeat since our refrigerator is also STUFFED!

Stay tuned for more adventures and maybe some cruise pictures tomorrow!
