      Happy Thursday! Another gorgeous later summer day after a good nights sleep.  Up and puttering around for a while then a nice walkabout town for 1.5 miles, stopped at Pettigrews to settle the invoice for service and brake job on our coach. Less money than we had figured and that's always good.
      Last 11 am we headed into Waterloo to meet with our financial adviser, discuss our investments etc, they are doing well as they usually are, no complaints there. Then he took us for lunch always a nice treat when he does that.
   Also while there stopped at the Wholesale Club Open to the public (no membership required) next door to get our winter supply of coffee that we enjoy.
have been shopping here long perforce Cosco Opened
and they have the products and large quantities we like
and great prices on meats and etc..
      After our meeting and discussing financial plans and the increase of 12.5 % since January this year, nice that the funds are making more than we spend. We carried on discussing over a nice tasty lunch at East Side Marios, we have no been to for a very long time.
this be the place
      Seated right away,  not busy on a Thursday at 1pm. We get unlimited bread and salad to start. It has been a very long time since we enjoyed pasta and bread was a real treat , all those extra carbs, but boy it sure was good. Gotta work this one off.
tasty small loaves of bread
huge bowls of Caesar salad
I ordered the Chicken Parmgiana
so very tasty and filling
       All this was wonderful and as expected we brought some home as well.
this area not open yet so nice and quiet there
       A couple more photos inside love the Italian theme.
      We left here stopped at the Bell store to review our cell phone, internet plans and made a few changes saved about $45.00 a month , good deal always nice to check these things out when we can.
       Then some wonderful nice quiet back roads from there all the way back to Plattsville.
    Below is the 3 boxes of coffee we picked up now have enough for 140 pots of coffee. always a good price works out to 60 cents to make a 12 cup pot. of this liquid gold we enjoy. 
         I consolidated 3 1/2 boxes of coffee into 2 perfect for our storage and winter supply.
now we are stocked with our coffee for the winter
   That was a great day taking care of more business that needed to be done when in the area.
   Back to camp awesome about 4 pm enjoying this wonderful warm afternoon outside reading in the shade and wrapping up this posting.
   No supper needed tonight after that over the top tasty lunch we were treated to.
   Thanks for taking the time to drop by and hope y'all had a great day as well.

  1. The food at Mario`s looks great! Much better than Olive Garden, although I like eating there. Always good to have your finances in order. I am really enjoying your blog.

    1. Chris thanks for following along. We found the food to be very good and reasonable as well., It has even been a few years since we went to the olive garden as well. We like to meet with our advisor once or twice a year to re evaluate our funds, always nice when the market is good.

    1. We like to get things all taken care of right here, Dal has always treated us fairly and done good work.
      The lunch was excellent and filling no need for dinner and that felt good. Oh we did share some popcorn when watching tv.

  5. How nice of your finacial person to treat you to such a fantastic lunch. Food looked really good. Nice place like the decor. It's hard to believe we can drink so much coffee.

    1. He has done this for us for many years. Every place he has taken us was always great food.And the decor there we like as well. We do enjoy our coffee in the mornings and the nice things about these individual bags is they are always fresh. Better to take a bit more than to run out before we get back home. Made that mistake back in 2006 never did find a reasonable coffee we enjoyed.

  7. Interesting that you stopped at the phone store and are now saving money. In June of this year I did the same, and then recently earlier this week after reading that Patsy and Bill did it, I called them then also. I am now on the unlimited North American plan(10GB throttle) and will save $125 a month from what I paid last winter in the south. Funny how we have to approach them for these rates. So same data availability but $125 less. We have to thank our American friends for driving these prices down here in Canada.
