Out and About

It's been a busy week and it's still in progress. Some of us finished weaving projects.
The other afternoon, Joan called and said "let's try Papa John's tonight. We rarely ate Papa John's in Charlotte; therefore, we were not so anxious to try it here. Papa John's opened several months ago at Millenium Plaza.

It's a sit-restaurant, with additional outside seating (weather permitting), as well as take out and home delivery. We had the New York, New York and it was yummers, as were the breadsticks. This is definitely a keeper.

Yesterday, I skipped weaving. Mick ran in Supermaxi at El Vergel while Nikolas and I stayed in the car. The security guard, or as it's pronounced in the South "scyurty", was interesting as usual. Parking lots are controlled by security guards. At El Vergel, they don't even open the parking lot until Supermaxi is open. They tell you where to park and when to park. They are ready for business and anything else that happens as they are armed. In the case of El Vergel, they carry night sticks. Most of the security carry guns.

Thursday afternoon, we went to a matinee at Mall del Rio. The popcorn was as good, however, the tickets are a few cents more. Wednesday is 2 for 1. It cost $4.50 for the two of us to see the movie. Two giant sodas, a giant popcorn, and two hotdogs were $10.80. The movie we saw was "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes." It was just OK. But remember, the popcorn was great.

When we came out, this tiny truck was parked near us. Joan and I thought we'd try it out.

This morning, we were out and about and stopped at Gourmand for coffee. Silvia's coffee is always good.

It's almost the weekend.

Until next time,

Mick and Kathy
