Coming home

We slept late and left for home around 10:30. I had to argue down our room bill because I was charged for two calls that I had made trying to connect to the Internet last night. The clerk was very accommodating. We left and drove the interstate back to Roanoke where we found gas for $2.689! We did not find a Kroger store so we will have to rely on the Georges to bring us bread. We decided to take the Parkway for a while and drove back up to the Roanoke star where we had lunch. We left on the Parkway and drove 80 miles to I-77. It was a beautiful day and a relaxing drive because the road was not as sharp as the portion in NC. We stopped at many rest areas and finally arrived in Asheville where we had dinner. We had a coupon for a free “tonion” appetizer with the purchase of our entree of pork chops which we shared. I joked with the waitress about my birthday being Thursday, and she gave me a free ice cream dessert. I tipped her well. We then went to the Asheville Mall and bought an “air card” that should allow me Internet access anywhere. Evelyn wanted to get me something special for my birthday. The card cost $149 but is free after rebate, and the service is $60 per month. I hope it is worth it. We came home and watched the end of the Cubs game. I had misplaced the phone charger but the Lord in His mercy helped me find it. One thing we got in the mail was a copy of the South Beach Diet Book and a cookbook. I hope we can use it to add health to our bodies. I went to bed a bit late so I may not go to work tomorrow.
