Hello From Rockville

Harlan and I went to church then out for lunch at Applebee's, we had steak, Harlan had french fries and I had a baked potato and it was good.

I wanted to see if I could find some hardy flowers to plant out now and I saw that Shopko had their plastic building building up and stocked with a few plants etc. so stopped to check it out and they had a few pansies, I picked up 3 4 packs (1 dozen plants) which will brighten up my area around the patio and pansies are hardy and will survive chilly temps. While I was there the young man asked if I wanted to get a card that I could show Shopko if I wanted to shop there and it would entitle me to 10% discounts on certain day so I filled it out and was given my discount card. He watched me fill it out and says to me, "Your last name is Platzer?" Me, "Yes." He then says, "So is mine." He was born in St. Paul but was now in St. Cloud and that's about all that was said. It's a small world, just never know when you'll run into a relative and I would guess that some how he is a relative, his first name is Tom.

We started watching the Twins at Applebee's and they were ahead, after shopping and going back to the VA they were behind and never did recover, but they can't win them all.

Today was a good day so I feel I'm on a winning streak and I hope it keeps going..............Fran
