Last night we went to bed at 10:45pm, I slept through the night, finally waking/getting up just after 6am. Teresa got up at 6:45.
We left the apt at 8:15 and drove to Deerfield Bakery in
Buffalo Grove. I took a bear claw although it was not the same as I remember. I
also had French toast and Teresa had a couple fried eggs with ham but didn’t
get her new favorite, hash browns. We each had lattes and the check came to
$37.04.
I was planning on going to Lake Geneva but with the rain
decided on Plan B. We drove to Elgin and stopped in Jewel where I bought
flowers plus a few other things we needed for $46.08. we drove to Memorial Park
in Elgin and I was a little surprised I couldn’t find my mother’s grave. I
stopped in the office and they gave me a map with the location and after that
it was a piece of cake. It was a little grown over with grass but I cleaned it
best I could with my bare hands. Teresa suggested we come back with a spatula
to clean it properly. In Elgin I showed her the house we lived in after I was
born and the house my dad built with the help of our uncles. I stopped in
Sycamore and bought gas and was surprised I remembered how to do it (nothing
changed there) and paid for it with my debit card without any problem. We drove
out to Northern Illinois University in Dekalb and I could see how much its
grown, at least on the athletic side. We stopped at The Junction Eating
Place for lunch. Teresa had a hot open face turkey sandwich and I meatloaf.
We enjoyed our food and only after finishing found out our young waitress was
Mexican so Teresa could have talked to her directly, Lunch cost $38.82
including tip.
I finally discovered the USB-C port in the car so I could
keep my cellphone charged. Now if I could just figure out which button is for
cruise control.
I drove us to Woodfield mall and Teresa saw the same stores
she sees in Medellin like H&M and Zara and a few she didn’t
know.
We couldn’t find a decent place for coffee (Teresa wanted to
return to Deerfield Bakery but they closed at 5pm) so we drove to Golf Mill so
she could buy pajamas because it’s still cold in the apt. We tried Ross,
Penney’s, and Target and ended up back in Penney’s where she bought a size X
pair of flannel pajama bottoms for $5, just so she wouldn’t freeze at night.
In a pouring rain, we stopped in Panera Bread and
bought bowls of broccoli cheddar soup and her extra was an apple and mine a bag
of kettle chips. She liked the chips so much she had me exchange her apple for a
package of chips.
When it wasn’t pouring today it was at least raining lightly
but by the time we returned to the apt at 9pm it had stopped.
I guess these are supposed to be universal symbols on the
heater but I have no idea what they mean. The fan is working lightly but I
don’t think it’s giving out any heat.
FUNNY
