May 9, 2014 (18th Day)

After breakfast we four went to Best Buy to see if they have Mifi with ATT that Edith wanted, but they did not have it in stock, so we went to another Best Buy.  While at the 2nd store Paul recommended that we check Verizon out because of its better coverage than ATT, but the 2nd store was out of it, so we asked the clerk to call other stores.  Turned out that the first store we went to had it in stock.  Oh boy!

Patty wanted to get cupcakes from The Cupcake Cowgirls for dessert tonight.  They were in Cupcake War show with Food Network, and they won the competition. They had like 10-15 different flavors.  Each of us got to pick out two and Patty got extras for Pamela and her family. They were absolutely delicious and we can see why they won the contest!

It was fun shopping at H.E.B. Supermarket because there were lots of free taste samplings and some of them were very delicious! We almost had a full meal with the total samples. It is a very nice huge store that has lots of variety. 

After shopping at H.E.B. we went to Patty's house for lunch. Then we went back to Best Buy (the first store we went to in the morning), and Edith got Mifi with pre-paid cards. However, it took over an hour for the technician to set it up.  Edith walked away from the store with a smile on her face. No more searching for hotspots in remote areas or small towns.

Pamela and her kids came over for supper. Her husband, Ken was still on the road after getting off from work. We sat down and chatted, while Patty and Paul got the supper cooking.  It was good to see Ken again.

The weather started to get stormy. Heavy downpour. Paul had to move the grill from the outdoor deck to the covered porch, so he can grill hamburgers and hot dogs.  Once the rain stopped the sky was orangy. And we all went out to enjoy the view. Lo and behold, double (almost triple) rainbow!

Delicious supper was served.  Then we had scrumptious cupcakes for dessert.  Edith had the salted caramel one and Erwin had coconut.  They tasted so heavenly and the frosting was made to perfection. 

Ken and Edith sat down, so Ken can show tips on transferring and storing pictures from SD card to external hard drive. He also showed few keyboard shortcuts. She is still learning about her new Apple products! While they were at it the rest of the family and Erwin chatted.  Pamela shared trip tips with us.
