Saturday around noon I went out to do a few errands. I found a Mexican grocery store with in house butcher shop nearby. On the weekends they have a BBQ going and will cook your meat for you. I took advantage of this offer and purchased some marinated steaks. I haven't purchased a BBQ yet and the George Foreman grill is just not the same. One of the shop keepers offered me samples from their steam table. Rice, beans, shredded meat and cubed tongue. The tongue was close to what my mother used to make. I would consider going back for an order of it. On this visit I took the steaks and a container of Mexican rice, figuring my purchases would cover two meals.
When I returned to the trailer, I found a note on my door from one of the ladies who I had played cribbage with. She was inviting me to her home to play a board game that evening, with her and some other people. I felt privileged to be included, and seeing as I had no better plan in mind, I accepted.
There ended up being 6 of us playing a game similar to the one I played near Peterborough this summer, but a bit different. I caught on quickly and won the second of the three games we played. It was a nice opportunity to get to know some more of the parks residents.
