Black Friday . . .
Jan and I spent about an hour this morning putting together my new Respawn Gaming Chair, a 30 minute job that took about an hour due to old fumble fingers here.
It’s amazing how many times I could drop that Allen wrench. Jan, to her credit, kept the snickering mostly muffled.
Then about 1pm, we headed out for our Black Friday event. No, it was not at WalMart or Costco, but at Twin Peaks.
You see, Black Friday at Twin Peaks means Black Lingerie Friday. Much better than fighting the crowds at WalMart, believe me.
Something funny did happen though. We asked specifically for our favorite server, Sylvia, but were told we would have to wait a few minutes for an open table in her area.
When we were being seated, we had to wait a few seconds for the busser to finish wiping down the table. Right about then, the young lady who was guiding us to our table said,
“You asked specifically for Sylvia. Are you her grandparents?”
We both just laughed, and said, “No, she’s just a really good server.”
And she is too.
In fact, she showed up at our table with our specific drink order, two unsweet iced teas, two iced waters, an extra glass of ice, and a bunch of extra lemons, just a minute or so after we sat down, without us even having to order it.
That’s Sylvia on the left and her BFF Victoria on the right. Notice I kept the shot from the waist up.
Jan laughing said she didn’t know which way to look. There were just ‘cheeks’ everywhere.
Me, I just kept my mouth shut.
Thought For The Day:
If you’re going to be weird, be confident about it.

Happy Gobble Gobble To All . . .
The incoming cold front (low of 70 last night, 46 tonight) brought rain with it, not heavy, but just a steady on and off drizzle. Bur it may be part of the reason that when we got to Cracker Barrel about 11, it was busy, but not overwhelmed.
So I dropped out Jan out front while I found a place to park. And since a lot of the clientele today was us old people, there were no handicapped spaces available, but I did find a space not too far from the door, and hobbled in.
And found Jan already seated, and we had our plates in about 15 minutes.
And it was just as delicious as always. And since it came with cornbread/biscuits, pumpkin pie, and a drink, all for $12.99, it was a great deal, too.
However, our plan to buy a couple of dinners to take home for leftovers was thwarted by the fact that we were now supposed to have ordered them ahead of time. But it still worked out because we had leftovers anyway.
And as we were leaving about an hour later, they were much, much busier.
We chose wisely.
Since we knew we were going to be eating kind of early, I didn’t fix coffee this morning. So we were very happy to see Cowboy Coffee open for business when we went by about 10:45, thinking we could get coffee on the way home. But our hopes were dashed when we came back by about 12:15 and found them closed. Guess they were just open for people heading out to grandma’s house for Thanksgiving.
Bummer!
Getting home, we make calls to both kiddo’s, Brandi up in OK, and Chris over in Kingsland. Good to hear from both.
After that it was time for a post-turkey nap.
A really nice day.
Hopefully yours was as nice as ours.
