We had a Good Day yesterday. I made biscuits for breakfast. We went for frozen custard at Rusty’s, then took the long way home, exploring a good bit of southern Oklahoma. The weather was beautiful, perfect for driving with the top down. We passed through several of the little towns Berck flies to. One of the little towns along our way was Maysville, which doesn’t have an airport but does have an aviation theme about it. There’s a diner with a plane tail sticking out of the roof. This is because Maysville is the home of Wiley Post, who seems…
Berck woke me up Monday morning. “Jonah! It’s 6:32!” I set my alarm for 5:55 a.m. It takes half an hour to get to work, so I usually try to leave at 6:20 so I have time to put my lunch up and go to the washroom before walking the two-minute walk to the other side of the warehouse where the timeclock is located. I’m glad I was driving the Miata with the radar detector holster ready to go. I clocked in at 7:03. Last night I dreamed I got two tickets. So I drove extra slow on the way…
The Sam’s, that they’ve been building right down the street from us since we moved here, finally opened last week. That means we don’t have to drive all the way up to OKC to go shopping. We took Arthur on his first Sam’s run on Wednesday. He holds a lot more bulk items than the Miata. The Sam’s is so new that the concrete floors still look shiny. There was a huge line to get membership cards, and the greeter/bouncer seemed surprised we already had one. We went back today because we’d forgotten Velveeta and didn’t get onions and bell…
Berck’s dad arrived last night. We had Berck’s pot roast and my bread and pie. I tried a new recipe that turned out really well. Berck complains whenever I make a dessert that isn’t chocolate, and he loves meringue, so I found a chocolate meringue pie recipe. It’s a keeper. Berck and his dad left this morning. They’re driving to Phoenix to pick up a U-Haul trailer, then picking up Jim’s stuff in California, and then driving it to Nashville. It was $200 to trailer from Phoenix to Nashville, as opposed to $800 from California to Nashville. I guess everyone…
