Taking Care Of Chores

Tuscaloosa, Alabama - Deerlick Creek COE Park

Weather: low 65 degrees, high 95 degrees, mostly clear skies

A fast moving front came through the area last night. It caused rain, high winds, and damage north of us, but all we got from it was a little wind. I think that's what helped make the temperature cooler this morning.

Here's a picture of the Early County Courthouse, located in Blakely, Georgia. We visited this little town over the past weekend. What is Blakely's claim to fame, or infamy? Remember the uproar the last few months when peanut products were found to have salmonella? The factory that allegedly produced the peanut butter is located in Blakely. As a result, the factory is now closed, which was a big hit on the economy of the town.

We went to the WalMart Mall to stock up on some groceries and other things we needed. While we were there, Carolyn checked out the sheets for the bed in an attempt to find some that will fit our bed better than what we have now. The bed is considered king size, but the dimensions are different than the sheets we have found. The size of the bed is 72 inches wide by 78 inches long, which is not a traditional sized king size bed. All the sheets Carolyn found at WalMart are larger than that. We'll try some other stores before looking on the Internet.

Before going home, we made another stop at Publix for a few things we wanted from there. We got a hungry on for Publix chicken, which is one of our favorites when it comes to fried chicken. I guess you know what the main course for supper was. Add fresh corn on the cob and salad, and we're eating good.

This afternoon, I put the satellite dish in service. The trees around here give us some good shade, but make it difficult to find a satellite signal. After about an hour of trying to find a spot to get through the trees, I finally got lucky and found a signal that will work. Carolyn is happy.

Terri's coming over tomorrow night for supper. Carolyn has a menu planned of the rest of the fried chicken, fresh pole beans, corn on the cob, and fresh garden tomatoes. Looks like I'll keep eating good.

More later, be safe.
