another week gone

TGIF used to be the working person's mantra... but now that we are retired and abiding ( mostly) by the social distancing guidelines it doesn't seem to be that important. Each day pretty much seems like all the rest... whine whine whine...
Yesterday Bob discovered that one of our favorite restaurants was offering a dinner special curbside. It's a set meal but with some choices as to sides. So we ordered two dinners, set up a pick up time  and waited till it was time to go.
The restaurant is about a half hour away so we got out our cooler and heated a brick in the oven...and off we went. Everything went smoothly. Dinner went into the heated cooler with the brick and home we went. The brick idea did the trick. Dinner was still hot and was great!! Bob says we will do it again.
Like most restaurants during the shut down things were hard... very very slow. So I made sure to write on Facebook just how successful our experience went...

It was good for me too... great meal.. no prep... very few dishes/utensils !

We are in the midst of a hot weather period... in the 90's yesterday and almost as hot today and since it rained ( night time) both times it was pretty muggy. More days of the same coming up. My plants love it!

Bob just finished a phone call from our grand daughter.. she needed used car buying advice. Guess her current one is dying. Glad it was Bob not me,,, I know nothing about what's a good used car to buy!!  LOL

A heated brick? Wow! I’d never heard of this. What an interesting idea.

This is for Kay. I think that's how Laura Ingalls kept her feet warm. Or was that Jane Adams?

Hi Joanne. I do know people in the past used to do that in carriages and such.

But Bettina, it doesn’t melt the cooler plastic? I guess you must put a lot of newspaper or towel to keep it from hitting the plastic.

We put a thick towel on the bottom... cooler was fine
