Thursday is Over The Hill Gang time. We left home at eight and arrived at OTHG in time to put the King Ranch Chicken casserole into the oven. It baked for nearly two hours. That seems excessive to me since all of the ingredients are precooked before being layered in the baking pan. The next time I make this, I will thoroughly mix everything rather than layering and cut the baking time by a third. But that’s why you follow a recipe the first time – so it can be modified the next time – and the time after that.

It was **Hat Day** at OTHG.
Each hat had a story.
Or maybe people were making them up
off the top of their head.

***Then*** it was to the doctor’s to have blood drawn to check my PSA. (NO, not a Public Service Announcement.) Prostate specific antigen. From my last doctor’s visit my PSA was a little elevated. Three months ago the digital exam showed my prostate to be slightly enlarged. If today’s blood shows a continued elevated PSA, I will go in for an in office (in orifice) biopsy.

***Our*** next stop was at Dollar Tree so Ella could shop for BINGO prizes. On the way into the store, she gathered up shopping carts from the parking lot. That’s my gal.

We had 12 for BINGO tonight. I called using a deck of BINGO cards instead of the cage of little balls. It worked well, though it did take a little longer when verifying the bingo.
