Never had a car with temp displays until we purchased the Forester last month. A nice feature for sure. Hoping the direction display and GPS will help Marie get around more efficiently, but I doubt it. She just has some difficulty with special relationships and measurements.
Work continues to be challenging, and Marie and I find ourselves yearning to get away on our three day weekends. This weekend, for example, we’re heading into Philly for some flower show, some dining, and some shopping at the Reading Terminal Market.
We used to make the trip every year, but the flower show can get a little tedious because of the crowds. And cell phones have made it worse because everyone is taking pictures of everything. Gets a little annoying because people almost expect you to not get in their way when they’re taking pictures. But if you waited for every one who was taking some picture, you’d never move an inch in any direction.
Because of having these alternate Fridays off, we’re going in for a couple of nights instead of just a day trip to the show, and hanging out in Center City just because we enjoy walking around Philly. The weather isn’t accommodating us with the temps, but we pretty much don’t care. Just be good for the change of scenery and to offset the cabin fever that this month has brought with it.
Our financial advisor is really into organizing marketing events, which most of the time we ignore. But tomorrow night she organized a cooking class with a chef from one of the local restaurants, and Marie and I decided to pick up on this one. We had always thought that once we retired together we would take a cooking class, or a music class, or possibly a movie appreciation class, so we’re going to try this free one out. I can always use some help in the kitchen because in my mind, there are so many herbs and spices that I still don’t know how to use outside of recipes.
Time to get back to a test report. Have a great Tuesday ole OKP.
