New Year Treat

The other day we had the truck safety check done in Sarnia. As usual it was more $ than we expected. Even when we count on something to be expensive we still misjudge. We picked up the truck and we were both very hungry but not wanting to eat at a fast food place we decided to go straight home. Besides, we very rarely eat out. Twice a year, tops, and that is if someone takes us out. Kirk was following me in his truck and as we turned onto 21 highway some how we had a meeting of the minds. Our turn signals went on simultaneously and we turned into the Red Rooster Restaurant. (Some how we seem to do that a lot. With out talking we think the same thing)?

It was something about the place we liked. It was like we had gone back to North Carolina. Maybe it was the country music. The friendly people. (Kirk has mentioned to me more than once that people on the street here don't greet you. But, I mentioned at least they will come to our home to visit. This is all another story) The bowls of peanuts which is something Kirk enjoys.

Now comes, what do we do with the peanut shells? I could see, they are just thrown on the floor. Kirk couldn't bring himself to do that? Why, is beyond me? Anyone who has ever seen the floor of his shop will relate to what I am thinking. Oh well, we don't get out much. We put the shells on a plate. We ordered food we have never tried before. It was great. We had a great time just doing something different. Then came the bill. Not bad. It just reminds us why we don't go out much.

We justified the occasion as our Happy New Year and by taking the leftovers (doggie bag) for the dogs!
