A long drive home

I wakened a bit after 8:30 and took my shower. I dressed and was off to the breakfast. It was a pretty good one: fresh fruit, waffles, hard cooked eggs, cereal, etc. I knew Evelyn was not awake yet and would never make the 10 o’clock closing time, so I took her a big bowl of fruit and another bowl of cereal. She ate in the room and we left around 11. We followed our new GPS to the Trader Joe’s in Norcross. We bought two cases of mixed wine: white zinfandel, shiraz, merlot, chardonnay, and sauvignon blanc. Evelyn bought some other specialty items. We looked for our hazelnut/poppy seed bread there since Kroger has stopped producing it, but they had none. This store is located in a beautiful, upscale mall that was decorated with many beautiful flowers. They looked especially lovely when wet. It had been raining off and on since we left the motel, and I am sure everyone in Atlanta was delighted after last summers drought. We drove on north and stopped at the Jaemor Farm market to get some Vidalia onion relish. We also bought 3 tomato plants, a fern, and some boiled peanuts. We drove on, me eating the peanuts, and stopped outside Clayton at a “Grill and Chill” Dairy Queen. We went on through Franklin, all the time hoping to come to rain for our area but never did. We got home around 5 and watched the end of the Cubs/Cardinal game before eating hot dog sandwiches for supper. Evelyn then decided we should walk, so we did. I also went to the hotel to try to publish some of the video I had taken at the play onto the blog. I couldn’t get it done. Nor could I send any as an attachment to an e-mail. What a bummer! I know both can be done but don’t know how. We came home and went to bed. It was a tiring day for both of us. Just sitting and riding/driving is tiring.
