We were out looking for paint, hardware and a headstone yesterday afternoon
in the blazing heat.
Stopped to buy groceries for dinner, changed our minds, decided to not cook and have Mexican instead. It was earlier than we usually eat - but when we walked into the restaurant we were surprised by the numbers of people and the bouyant mood.
The waitress had our order of frozen Margaritas on the table before we blinked. Icy cold and refreshing - not as potent as the ones Mark usually makes from scratch - which was probably a good thing.
As we looked around the restaurant we noticed that everyone was downing margaritas without restraint - we hadn't finished our first before the table across the room were onto their third! More people arrived, all ordering margaritas. Everyone was laughing and chatting. This, we thought, is obviously where the country town folk party on a Tuesday afternoon!
Some tasty food, onto our second and suddenly we were laughing too.
It wasn't until we got our bill that we realised the Margaritas were 99c each.
We had hit Margarita Tuesday.
So we had another!
Is there a champagne Wednesday in your neighborhood?
ReplyDeleteNot that we know of yet - but it is Champagne Friday on our farm on Friday night!
ReplyDeleteI chuckled to myself thinking your second picture might have been an accurate depiction of your vision after having too many 99c Margaritas.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted! However I also take photos sometimes like that without having had a Margarita!
