Got up early today in anticipation of my mother wanting to meet up with me while she and her husband drove back from Texas. I wound up driving an hour South of me, which was fine because it was only ten minutes out of their way when it came down to it. And they had done a lot of driving over the past week.
We went to Golden Corral which is just pure LOVE. Usually. I was really disappointed this time; the Awesome Pot Roast didn’t live up to its name for once and the delicious rolls with honey butter were not right-out-of-the-oven fresh. It made me sad. Oh well.
My mother and I talked a bit about… well, nothing really. Talked about the dogs she just gave to Rolando’s sister, talked about the ranch in Benson, talked about her uncle and her cousins, talked about other people, blah blah blah. Then I left them and headed back toward home. I stopped off at the Salvation Army that was right there and picked up an adorable recipe box that has strawberry designs on it. $1. And then a brass candle holder for $1. Sweet!
Stopped at Discount Tire and had my tires finally looked at. The balance is the only thing I haven’t had looked at. 45 minutes and $40 later, the sound is still there but like 80% better than it was before. So yay! And the guy I talked to seemed very honest and said that I don’t need to worry about replacing my tires yet. Minimum six months depending on my driving habits. Like if I drive long distances often and during mid-day when the pavement is at its worst. Which is lovely because I was worried someone was going to tell me that I need them replaced within the next month regardless of my driving habits. Nope! This pleases me.
It rained a lot in the morning which cooled everything down considerably. It was a very comfortable 85 degrees or so for a better part of the day. I loved it!
