Did I tell you we got us a new bed. Well not the whole bed but a topper. We got the memory foam topper that lays on top of your mattress and conforms to your body when you lay down on it. Sherri and I woke up this morning after sleeping on the new mattress topper and we felt like a million bucks…however that feels? I would have a back ache when I got up after sleeping on the old mattress but this morning I feel good and my back does not hurt. Does this sound like a commercial? Well it works for us and we saved $$$ not buying a sleep number or one of those other high $$$ mattresses.
I know you could probably care less about how I slept but I just had to put you in the mood that I am in after a good nights sleep. It is cold this morning and I have the coffee on and Sherri is coming down the stairs to join me. I poured her a cup and we sat down to enjoy this time together. This is the time of the morning that we decided how the rest of the day will pan out. This is the last day of work here for Sherri and we will be heading to Lake Tawakoni so we have to plan out our time for moving. Sherri was planning on a short day so she would be back in time to check out and then we could head off to our next destination.
As things turned out today Sherri called me and said that her team wanted to eat together today so we have decided to stay one more day. She said that she would be getting off soon and that she would come by and pick me up. It was about 11:15 when she got here and we went to the office to extend our stay and then back to the store to eat. The store catered a dinner in so they fed everyone there and it was good.
When we had finished eating and all the visiting was done we left there for another store so Sherri could shop. Kohl’s is one of her favorite stores and she spends a lot of time wondering up and down the aisles there…touching and looking at everything….I mean EVERYTHING. OK so I did look for some shorts there but could not find any this late in the year.
After Kohl’s we went back to the house to plan on what to eat. OK you have to remember that several hours had passed since our last meal. The cupboard was bare and the decision was made to head back out and find some fast food…or slow food it really did not matter to me. When I get hungry I could care less on what is on the menu. I will eat the tires off my truck when it comes down to it…just have to have food.
We decided to eat at Mercado's Mexican Restaurant on the loop around Tyler. They have the best Mexican food in Tyler…if your ever there. Sherri ordered a burrito and I the Enchilada's. The hot sauce there is out of site and hot. I ate way too many chips and when the dinner got there I just picked at it and got a to-go box. Sherri also got one so now we have lunch for tomorrow.
It is so nice being senior citizens! We get the lunch special all day long 7 days a week. They did not short us on the food either so we have plenty. Not all bad being old.
OK so now we are back at the house and the heat is on and we are getting comfy. The temps are suppose to drop down in the mid 30’s. We have not had to use the furnace all week even with the low temps. This rig is so well insulated that all we need is the two little electric heaters. The inside temps remain about 68 degrees even when the outside temps go down to the low 2o’s.
Well I guess that about does it for this day. We will be getting up in the morning about 5:00 am to head out to the lake. Sherri has to be at work at 9:00 am so we have a tight schedule to follow. Time to kick back here and relax…

Keep us updated on that memory foam...we are thinking of adding one to our bed. We have one of those air beds (not a sleep number but similar) and we both feel we need a little something more for comfort. The other problem with the air bed is poor DH has a leak for the second time on his side. That means we have to send in the old to get a repair or replacement...guess he may have to spend a few nights in his recliner! LOL!
Oh don't you just love memory foam! We have one too and it has helped my husband and I with our lower back pain for sure :) Well, that and our Topricin natural pain cream and beloved heating pad! So glad you have found relief :)
We tried one of those 4" memory toppers from Walmart. We didn't really care for it so we returned it. You should have seen us trying to get it back into the box. Of course no way, we could barely get it into a shopping cart. It stood about 5 foot above the height of the cart and the cart kept tipping over in the parking lot. We made it in and the gal in the service dept. looked like she had silver dollars for eyes. But all is well, she took it back. We ended up with an air bed from "Bear
Beds" and are quite happy with it.
Yeah, I am interested in the memory foam topper as well. What thickness did you get?
FYI, We have had a 4" topper in our stix and brix for 3 years now.It really helps to flip it once a month.Linda has had 7 back surgeries and the topper has been a godsend.In fact our 5ver has a 13" foam memory mattress that is even better.
1Mercados is great been there.
The next time your in Tyler try Fat Cats it's an cajuin type menu.
They have a stuffed Salmon and it's super.
We have the egg shell type foam on our mattress it helps on my back.
