What’s Up With That Wendy’s

I really like going to Wendy’s for their great burgers! And I like their baked potatoes. Their french fries are not as good as McDonald’s, but they are tolerable if they are hot and sprinkled with salt. I do wish they offered a salt substitute!

All that being said, I am not a fan of their restrooms! I have never been inside a Wendy’s restroom where there was a clean dry place to put a coat. In the winter time, I wear a coat that goes below my hips, and when I use the bathroom I like to take it off and put it on a hook. Wendy’s has neither, and I really don’t want to dump my coat on the floor or in the sink. The sinks are stand alone sinks with no counter space to put anything, so if I do put my coat in the sink it usually gets wet.

So, Wendy’s, hear my plea! Put hooks and shelves in the bathroom!

Family Festivities Moved Outside

We really couldn’t have asked for better weather on Thanksgiving day this year, 69 degrees is generally unheard of for this type of year. It was so nice out that at the last minute we decided to move all the festivities, including the massive dinner, outside. My folks have a great set up for events such as this, with a great porch, lined with their numerous gorgeous Adirondack chairs and Picnic Tables that they can utilize and enjoy all most all year round.

The kids played all most the entire time on the playground equipment that they always keep in top notch condition for the dozens of grandchildren, grandnephews and grandnieces that are always so appreciative of them providing for their entertainment when visiting. While the parents, or who ever else is in charge of supervising this crowd of youngsters can sit on various Park Benches that they have had strategically installed throughout the entire yard for people’s comfort.

Each year we seem to be having more kids attend these family dinners, so all of my parent’s work in making their place very family/kid friendly pays off time and time again. They really enjoy the little ones and they want to make sure that they are kept busy and kept safe during their visits.

Indian Summer is here

This is my favorite time of year, when Indian Summer comes around and spoils us with the world’s best weather conditions for a week or two. This is what I call leather weather, perfect motorcycle riding conditions, other than the wet leaves that can make those two wheels a bit slippery if not paying correct attention at the time.

I am going to try and take advantage of this most wonderful weather and spend as much time as I can outside enjoying as much as I possibly can. The cold, wet winter weather is just around the corner, and that is not something that I am looking forward to, come what may.

Needing A Good Deal On Tire Chains

Before we know it winter will be upon us, not something that I look forward by any means. Everyone is saying that we are in for a long hard winter which doesn’t help my mood any I can tell you that. I keep threatening to move south but for some reason I just keep putting it off.

There is so much to do to get ready for the harsh winter weather, I still have to find a decent price for a new tire chain that I have been putting off since last winter. Guess I will take the time over this weekend and go online and see what I can come up with there since I have no urge to go out looking in any of the stores around here with all the hassles that go along with shopping retail.

Seems that the family is up in arms over the up and coming Christmas holidays that are fast approaching us. Faster than I can to think. These pats few years have really taken it’s toll on everyone, there isn’t a single soul that I know that hasn’t been struggling, struggling hard due to the economy in such turmoil, and the news isn’t all that promising that things will change any time soon.

You see the family has been wanting to check into some travel books  and online sites that will assist with planning a family get a way during the long holiday breaks that most of us get to enjoy. The kids in the family have really been looking forward to spending time with relatives that they don’t get to see very often. They have all been pushing to go some where that they can enjoy all of the numerous winter sports that are available these days. The big one is snowmobiling and snow boarding, which has become so popular the people much younger than me, I can tell you that.

The older folks in the family are all about going somewhere nice and warm to get as far away as they can from the harsh winter weather that we always experience during those winter months. As they say “you can’t please everyone” but if no one can afford this family event it doesn’t look like any of us will be going anywhere any time soon, sigh….
