Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

Saturday was quite a day.  We finally had a real opportunity to sleep in a little.  We had to meet Dana’s parents at Concord Mills for lunch at 11:30am so that meant we needed to be out the door at 10:15am.  They were coming down to pick up some antique family furniture we put in storage at a friend’s house when we sold our house in October.
We ended up eating at the Cracker Barrel next to da Mills in the not really Non-smoking section.  I won’t get on that soapbox.  From there, I explained to her parents that our friends house was only 10-15 minutes away.  So, we departed on our joyride.
An hour later, we arrived at our destination.  Don’t ask me, a demon must have possessed the steering wheel and ended up taking us on a big loop out through the country.  Naw, my sense of direction (usually dependable, ask Dana) was seriously out of whack.
After taking the necessary critical comments regarding our journey amongst the cow pastures of Cabarrus county, we led her parents back to I-485 so they could head home.  Our next stop was Target on Albemarle Rd. since they don’t make Targets out in Waxhaw.
It is still hard for us to go into a store and not come out with more than what we went in for.  We did good this time by going in for only one item but coming out with two.  Plus, while we were searching for the one, we ran into a three-generation montage.  It was a friend/partner of ours along with her delightful mother and two daughters.  I thoroughly embarrassed myself by introducing myself to one of the daughters whom I had not only met already, but who had been in the group when we went out to eat with the family a few weeks ago.  She’s even one of the only five people we know whose been inside our RV!  Is the medicine or is it the age of 30 that had me that way?!
I’ll pick this up on tomorrow’s post.
