Me, my husband, and our son are out of town this weekend attending hubby’s high school reunion. It’s a six-hour drive from our home. While on the road, we stopped at a Hardee’s. I ordered chili dog and onion rings, hubby ordered burger and onion rings. I had a cherry Coke and hubby had Coke. Our four-year-old had a strawberry shake. Everything that we ate had an aftertaste! Kind of like the after taste you get when you drink a diet soda. One reason I refuse to drink diet sodas is because of that terrible aftertaste! Yuck! That was the first time I’d tasted that on food instead of diet drinks! They had apple turnovers – 2 for $1.00. We got two. We sat in the car and tasted the turnovers. They had the same aftertaste. Our son’s strawberry milkshake was the only part of the meal that tasted decent. My husband said that it was probably the grease they used to fry the food. The grease probably had that aftertaste.
When we got to our hotel, I was looking through the drawers for Internet access information, and the first thing I saw was The Book of Mormon. I found The Holy Bible in another drawer. I guess The Book of Mormon is being distributed in hotels like the Holy Bible? I didn’t realize this.
We went to breakfast at The Waffle House and on the way back to the hotel I saw a bookstore called Lighthouse Christian Books. The store is closed – out of business. According to the sign, they will reopen for one day only on July 24 to get rid of the merchandise. I peeked into the dark store and it appeared they had a lot of books – a lot of shelf space. It looked like a good-sized Christian bookstore and it’s a shame they’re going out of business, but, I blogged about that here. I think bookstores will be a thing of the past within the next several years.
We’ve got events lined up for the class reunion today and we’re heading home tomorrow. I’m still behind on my book reviews. I’ve got a few books that I’ve read but have yet to post a review. I’ll do that soon.
