Good morning to you all! I got another whim yesterday wanting to get out, so we drove to Selmer, Tn, which is about 2 hours from here to go to this huge furniture showroom called Henco. The man that started it, built it like a little town. You walk down a lane just like walking through a town with trees and all and each type of furniture is in its separate area named cute things like bedroom town or whatever. We had the dog with us so we couldn't look all through it, but believe it or not, this guy is in his 70's and stand at the front door and greats every single person who comes in, asks where they are from and tells them all about the store. It even has a whistlestop cafe where you can eat if you like and I looked at their menu and it is lovely and varied for every taste and good prices too. You can even get takeout if you wish. We walked through part of the bedroom then had to leave because we had left Fortune in the car, but he thanked us for coming in and was just so sweet. They have beautiful stuff and lots of it. For example, they have 40 bedroom suites to look at and they deliver and to Memphis!
Kelly emailed me and said they were closing the pool today so like I said it will be walking for me now. That's ok, I just have to work up to walking long distances and it will take time, but it will happen.
I did my weigh in today instead of tomorrow and I am down 4 more lbs!
I am close to my 40 lbs gone mark and am so eager to get below three hundred. We have decided to wait to go on the cruise because I want to be at goal weight and I don't want to feel I have to starve myself to get there in time. We are going to go to Orlando next year and go to Epcot Center to Disneyworld and to Universal Studios Island of Adventure with a side trip to Smyrna Beach to go to this seafood restaurant Jack wants to go to. I was teasing Jack about us being in a Cialis commericial 2 old folks at the beach all romantic and he perked up and said, "In those bathtubs?"
The man loves the commercial where the couple sit in twin bathtubs looking out at a scene holding hands. Brother!
Susan: One of the reasons why our plan is to go to Islands of Adventure is that the Harry Potter theme park opens next July and we are going in September so we can go through it. I am all excited about it as it sounds so cool. Keep working on my quilt, I am doing this thing!
I have never had the soft shell crabs or crawfish, which I hear both are pretty good. I have seen them deep fried whole and put into sandwiches on a couple food shows on tv. Do you feel back to normal now? I sure hope you do. One of these days we want to get back to Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown and we will take you out to dinner!
Maggie: I want to get a pasta attachment for mine, but haven't yet. I have the other three attachments. I have a food processor so don't really need the other attachments. I like a stand mixture because you can put the stuff in and don't have to stand there and mix it, you can go and grab other stuff as it is doing its thing. I think you tend to do things more correctly when you aren't having to stand over a bowl with a hand mixer. I think sometimes you cut corners in mixing time and your product can suffer that way.
Jean: 49? Yikes, we are cooling into the upper 60's low 70's but not that low. I imagine it was pretty chilly in the house yesterday morning.
We may have to take our new car into the shop. Jack is going to take it someplace today and have a code run on it to find out if it could possibly be a couple fuses out because as we were coming home yesterday and his gps quit working and none of the into the cigarette lighter outlets would work in the front or back. We then noticed the check engine light came on and stayed on, which is an emission thing, but Jack suspects it might be tied to what happened with the cigarette lighter outlets so he wants to check it out before we take it into the dealership. It is always something but at least we are still way under warranty.
You all have a wonderful Sunday! Faye
