I really don't have much going on today, no surprise there.
Went with one of the neighbours up to Graf to the PX there to see if we could get any of the things that were advertised for sale in this weeks flyer. Talk about an absolute waste of time. Now while I'm sure they did get in a fair bit of what was advertised in the flyer all of the things we were interested in, they didn't have. Talk about frustrating. She wanted a patio set and a nice pendant for her mother (for mother's day) and I was wanting a food tray (rectangular). I guess those things weren't meant for us.
Received a sweet phone call from one of the other spouses a few minutes ago. Seems that she's having a mini get together at her house on the 10th and was inviting me along. It's too bad I won't be able to go as I would have really liked to have gone. She said that when I get back that she'll have another one. I'm always up for cake and coffee (although we normally end up having wine too). Two of the ladies from the company (one is a spouse while the other is a soldier) celebrated their birthdays on Saturday and we went to a BBQ/Bday party for them. Fun was had by all and I got a sweet little note thanking me for the present (from the host). I'm happy she liked it as it can be quite hard to pick presents out for people you don't know all that well. While everyone has different tastes, I haven't found a person who doesn't like candles. What I got her wasn't really a candle. It stands about 6" high, made of glass and resembles a lamp and you just place a short pillar candle in it.
Off to the German-American Volksfest this afternoon as it's 50c for each ride.

I have never had much luck at PX's or exchanges. Out here, the PX's were like a drug or convenience store while the Exchanges had all the other stuff, like jewlery, furniture, perfume, etc. Aside from not paying tax on the items, I didn't really find them a whole lot cheaper than out in town, and even where we were, in San Diego, where the Exchange was loaded to the gills, a good sale item was gone in 30 seconds after the doors opened.
Maybe you can find something better out in town. :)
Enjoy the Volksfest! Sounds like fun!
