Hi Dale,

 DS> pretty ok. Then another long coach ride home, stopping at another CB
 DS> for lunch and then a choice of Wendys or Burger King for dinner.

 RH> Sounds like a nice little break in the routine get away. Sometimes
 RH> just a short change from the normal is good for a recharge. Did you go
 RH> to Wendy's or BK for dinner? (G)

 DS> We went to the BK.  We had been to a Wendy's within the past few weeks
 DS> (for the first time in a decade+) and were not too pleased with the
 DS> burgers.  We sort of liked the BK burgers better.  I had their hot

I usually get a chicken sandwich instead of of a burger. Last time we
were at a Wendy's, I wasn't too pleased with their chicken either.

 DS> chicken sandwich.  It was a bit too hot for me, mostly just coated on
 DS> the outside with cayenne pepper and a breading.

I've not had one, been a while since we went to a BK. This is the time
of year I like to go to Arby's, at least once, for their mint shake. CFA
has one also, but the Arby's one is better, IMO.


 DS> This comming weekend, we are going with the same group to Lancaster.
 DS> That is not so long a drive and we are driving ourselves.  I think
 DS> that there are two dinner shows involved.

 RH> I'm sure you will have free time for exploring the area. I'd be
 RH> looking for quilt/fabric shops (G) and general stores.

 DS> We have not been there for quite a while, maybe five years.  We will
 DS> have free time since we are going up early before the main group, and
 DS> staying a day extra.  The first gathering is lunch on Saturday and we
 DS> did not want to risk trying to get up early enough to make that.  The

Smart, gives you a bit of a chance to settle into the area also.


 DS> last show is over at 6 pm on Sunday, and we decided to stay there that
 DS> night instead of driving home in the dark -- even though it is only a
 DS> two hour drive.

That is also smart, driving after dark, especially in the season when
deer are on the move, can be iffy, even in metro areas.


 DS> Only thing we have planned as extra is to visit one of the outlet
 DS> malls looking for some replacement glassware.

We got some at a Beall's outlet store in Savannah a few years ago. The
only problem there is that the tumblers are a bit heavier than I like,
so we saved a couple of the old ones. The last one broke a couple of
months ago so we got a couple of inexpensive ones over at the local
ReStore that are a good weight for me.


 DS> and Steve intend to test your luck with Powerball:-}}

 RH> I've got better things to throw my money away on. Aldi has a sous vide

 DS> That is true of most people.  Either one is mathematically challenged
 DS> or is just willing to toss the money for entertainment value.

A tax on those who can't figure out that it is a tax, of sorts.

We did pick up a sous vide at Aldi's tonight--had to take the first one
back and exchange it. I think Steve now has something cooking as a test
in the replacement.
