Hardee's Biscuits

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 15 degrees, high 38 degrees, cloudy skies

Another cold day here, but there are signs that the lower temperatures are starting to moderate a little. Today was about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. Hey, we'll take what we can get!

We decided to have a late breakfast/early lunch (brunch) by going to Hardee's for some of their great biscuits. I think that if we could make them as good as Hardee's does, we would never eat out.

The restaurant was fairly busy, as usual on a weekend day. We were watching what people ordered, and the most popular dish appeared to be the biscuits and gravy. It looked good, but wasn't quite what we wanted.

After leaving Hardee's, we stopped at the library to pick up some new books to read. The cold weather is keeping us inside more than we're used to, so we tend to read more. I found a couple of books by two of our favorite authors, David Baldacci and Dean Koontz. In addition, I checked out the first ten episodes of The X-files. When the show was on television, we never seemed to watch it, so it's good to find the videos. No commercials means we can watch the shows without interruption, which is the way I like to do it. The library is having problems with their server, and were limiting everyone to two books and two videos until the problems are fixed. Fortunately, The X-files videos have several episodes on each dvd, so that's a lot of viewing.

From the library, we went out to visit my sister Judy and her family. Roger was at his truck accessory store in town, but we had a good visit with Judy and her daughter Traci.

By the time we left Judy's house, Carolyn was getting some vertigo symptoms. There's some rain headed this way, so it must be affecting her balance. Once we got home, I watched some college basketball, while Carolyn did some genealogy stuff. Later in the afternoon, I went for a walk, the first in quite some time. Even though it was only about 34 degrees at the time, it felt good to be out. Maybe I'll be able to get out some more in the next few days.

More later, be safe.
