Indiana Jones New Movie - It was nothing special

We had a relaxing weekend in the city, taking care of household chores and seeing friends. On Saturday we started with our once a quarter visit to Costco to load up on pet food, kitty litter, and swiffers. After we came back and unloaded a car full of dry goods, we got ready to see some friends, Jesse & Susan. We met them at a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant (Ah Chiuhaha!) around the corner where we had some tacos and salsa. After that we went to see the new Indiana Jones movie that just came out. It was ok, nothing special, and certainly not as good as the prior three.

The next morning we baked cinnamon scones and then went to church, which seemed sparsely attended, and then went shopping afterwards. The city was shut down for a parade on 5th avenue so getting across town was a headache. So we walked for a while and stopped for an iced chai and jello while going home. Then we went to the Japanese market to get rice vinegar, bok choy, and various other Oriental spices. Afterwards I opened up a light Italian rose wine for dinner.

Last night for dinner Jenn made veal marsala, mashed potatoes and green beans which we ate on the patio. The patio is now covered with a dozen flowering plants which are all in various stages of bloom. They are quite thirsty though and need 3 gallons of water just about every other day; the pets like to snooze outside while we water them.
