The regular bananas at Publix looked terrible, so for 10 cents per pound extra, Kathy bought these organic bananas. They have a band around them that says organic. They also have a plastic wrap cap. Kathy thinks this is so people don’t mix some organic bananas in with some of those inorganic bananas.
I picked up mom (Gramalie) at Ted’s house yesterday where she was helping watch over the installation of new windows. They were just finishing up, and Ted now has a very nice view from all sides of his house.
We went to Decatur to the Brick Store Pub, a favorite of mine. They were packed for lunch, so we could not get a booth or table, but we did get a big barrel table with stools. Mom chose a square stool, and I chose a round one.
I thought this would be a good place to go on a cold, rainy day, and it was. We had great service, sandwiches, soup, and coffee. Mom recommends the hot grilled corn beef sandwich. I recommend their signature “almost famous” brunswick stew. Spicy. Coffee is a recommend, also.
Later we walked Katie and Austin who were so happy to be walking with Gramalie and a bit concerned to be walking with the un-Ted. Really, only Austin was concerned. Katie did not care.
Ted should not let his dogs walk his fearless mother, especially on wet, leafy sidewalks. Katie had mom going in a trot, and I was very concerned she would fall. I ended up taking both leashes for the first leg, and then as the dogs settled, Mom was able to take a leash for the second leg.
Stout would be safer for mom.
