Day 15 Stonecrest Saturday

I will try and catch-up. We came into heavy traffic and found out it was NASCAR at Atlanta getting out. We went off X212 instead of 218 and took back roads. Highways were just packed with cars and we headed through parking lots to a Holiday Inn Express. I asked the price, $189 because of NASCAR, for a senior $165, she ask if I had been in the service, yes, 7 years. She said $109, took it as we did not want to buck the traffic. Later Jerry

Continued It was a nice breakfast at the house. Time for lunch at the Firehouse Subs. We ate there two years ago and the flavor is really good, wondered what the difference is between these and others? Shirleen got a Kids Roast Beef with cheese, cold; I a medium Pastrami sandwich with cheese and a good sauce, and potato chips yummy. Mary Ann and Steve shared a turkey wrap with baked potato chips.

We then went to look for the purple orchid that Steve saw yesterday at the Flea Market. We walked through the market and the girls split. Yesterday they found a couple necklaces that went well with what they were wearing. We found the orchid, and picked up a couple fresh veggies; tomatoes and cow mozzarella cheese to slice and eat with the tomatoes.

Steve and I watched the first half of the Minnesota basketball game with Michigan. Later we stopped by Publix grocery store and picked up some steak to grill later and other essentials.

Now is time for the grill out. We sat outside and lunched on some seafood with chips and that delicious seafood dip. Along with a couple beverages, gin and tonics and the girls had their vodka lemonade. Steve started the grill briquettes for the grilling. The girls were given the tasks to baked the potatoes for one hour, then place Steve’s chicken breast in toward the end of the time. Shirleen was to stir the mushrooms, which Mary Ann had turned on the wrong burner and Shirleen started to stir the mushrooms and started at 425, not time temperature of the oven. They could have been stirred for a long time and no one would have ate them. The grill was a little ahead of the oven so the girls snuck the potatoes and chicken into the microwave. Well everything turned out just fine. Meals were accompanied with chardonnay for MA and S and S and J had cabernet and merlot. Wine was fine, maybe a little too much. We finished off the night watching some TV motorcycle dirt track racing from Daytona. Mary Ann and I watched the Louisville and someone basketball game. Jerry
