Friday, we eyed the outdoors. So we planned an impromptu outing.
First, we drove out of the garage, onto the street and then the regional highway. Traveled half a mile or so and stopped at the Thornton’s gas station. Paid $1.71 per gallon. Although that’s the lowest price around here, I think it should be down around $1.20 given the crude oil market. Anyway, bought 2/3’s of a tank for $17.
Drove farther down the highway to our favorite McDonalds. Ordered Quarter-pounders and fries, one order with a chocolate shake, and one with a coke. Parked in an open space next to the garbage can. Ate the delicious meal! Tossed the trash in the can, and drove off.
Next stop was a slow drive through Warrenville to see spring coming alive. Budding trees, shrubs leafing out, and the glorious Magnolia tree at the corner of Route 56 and Batavia Road. Gorgeous. A little past its prime, but still a treat for the eyes. Lawns all around are greening up, some even freshly mowed.
Then we drove a big circle back to the apartment building, parked the car in the garage and returned to the apartment. Probably 10 miles driven. Two business transactions totaling $36. We took our seats in our recliners.
Then a nap. An exhausting regimen like that produces a need for slumber!
And that’s what we did with this Friday during the quarantine.
You?
