I hadn't seen my Shirley in several days and I believe that she and I both got 'down' about it. So, we gals took off and just puttered around. Had lunch at Pizza Hut (their individual pan pizzas with salad are soooo good).
I had a fav farmers market that had moved farther away from me so we found it. So disappointed. It just wasn't the same. I understand a restaurant has moved into their old building. I won't be going back to Farmer Franks anymore. Sad.
The Commons is humming with activity... the committee heading the joint Birthday/Christmas Party has been hard at work decorating and planning. Our party is on the 15th and I just know we are gonna have a blast.
This morning (on the coldest day we have had so far) I decided to head to the bank and get some Christmas money out. And, of course, I was going to stop at Hardees for me a sausage biscuit and some sweet tea. Well, coming back from the bank, I got to thinking about something and missed my turn to go to Hardees and then home. So, I just called Shirley and asked her if she wanted breakfast. Drove up to her house 35 miles away, we went to Hardees near her then back to her house where I got to see her decorated tree and then I came home.
That might not sound like a BIG DEAL to you younger set. But, I don't drive much anymore... and I hate being out in the cold. So, for me to get out in that chilly air and then drive up to Shirley's. Yes, that was a BIG DEAL. You'll understand when you get more years on you!! (grin) and you won't understand til you get there!
It sounds like a good day!

Latane, you are such a beautiful lady, and I love your outlook on life. Thanks for blogging, it's one of my very favorites. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally understand why that was a big deal. I'm 78 now and have more or less quit driving. ( Our vehicle is a pick up truck which I don't drive). I'm so glad it all worked out in the end and you not only got your breakfast you had time with your daughter.

I'm so glad you acted on impulse and had a whee old time! We went to visit a friend up in the Alabaster hospital this morning, but by the time we arrived home I was exhausted. The 'old' me is sure disappointed in present-day me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! Hope the Christmas party is fun too! Can't wait to see pictures of all the food! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteGood driving and happy day. Missing a turn is no fun, but you turned the day around well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat for both you and Shirley to be able to get together so often!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a fun day and darling photo!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making the drive. It sounds like a very fun day and the commemorative photo is darling.
ReplyDeleteI agree driving 35 miles is some distance as you age and being out in the cold too.. we battled wind and rain this week and I hated it! So a big well done and lovely you got to see Shirley I bet she enjoyed your company as much as you enjoyed hers
