Weather: low 53 degrees, high 79 degrees, clear skies
Today was one of those days we have been looking forward to. It was a nice day as far as the weather was concerned. Even more important was the fact that we did not feel the need to spend the day working at Terri's house. Can you imagine how nice this weekend has been for us? Sleeping in, taking our time getting out and about, only doing what we feel like doing. Ahhhh, this is nice.
We still have a few things to do at Terri's house, but tomorrow is soon enough to get started on those items. Once those tasks are completed, we will start getting stuff ready for a yard sale. She has some items that we will advertise in the newspaper on a piece by piece basis. The intent is to have everything sold or otherwise disposed of that she will not need in another place. Doing that also makes it easier to move.
Terri bought a new used car about four weeks ago. It is a 2004 Honda Pilot. Very nice car, and has more room inside than I thought it would have, seating eight people fairly comfortably. It has less than 60,000 miles, and is loaded with just about every option available when it was new. Below is a good representation of the car.
She had a car accident in October of 2007, where a man driving a pickup truck in the oncoming lane fell asleep and hit her car head on. Luckily, she was not injured as seriously as she might have been. Her car at that time was a Toyota Corolla, which is a relatively small car, and was wrecked beyond repair. She did not want another small car because there is not much to protect a person in the small cars. The Honda Pilot which she decided to buy is quite a bit larger than the Toyota, but is still not as large as most of the other SUVs on the market. So far, the Honda is performing well.
Does anyone fry chicken at home anymore? I can remember the time that if a person wanted fried chicken, if it was not cooked at home, you did without. Now, there are fast food restaurants specializing in fried chicken everywhere, and you can also buy it in the grocery stores. When the cost of buying all the ingredients is calculated, plus the time to cook and cleanup, it doesn't make a lot of sense to cook chicken at home.
What brought this little bit of remembering up is the fact that we went to Popeye's Fried Chicken for dinner tonight. Now, think about this. We go to a fired chicken place for fried chicken. What does Carolyn order? Fried shrimp!! Got to be different. Oh, well, at least my chicken was good, but the cole slaw left a little to be desired.
More later, be safe.
