I had the thrill—again—of replacing a tire thanks to a nail. That makes two this year! With all the road construction around here, I don’t think there’s a single route I drive that isn’t being worked on. It’s exciting to see the growth, but the day-to-day impact isn’t always so fun.
On a lighter note, Mom and I made it to the grand opening of Aldi. It was a bit of an adventure! There was some confusion over the shopping carts—you insert a quarter to unlock a cart, and when you return it, you get the quarter back. I first saw this system at a Price Right in New Jersey back in the ’90s. It’s simple and smart—and keeps prices down.
We also just got back from a big trip up North for John’s 50th high school reunion and visits with his mother and our daughter. It was a wonderful trip with lots of driving, but well worth it. Now I’m happy to be home, enjoying some quiet time and fussing in the yard.
Regards,
Cathy
