I wish we had Sonics closer, they are in Illinois but not close. I like their burgers and hush puppies but my overall favorite is they Cherry-Limeade. Especially during their Happy Hour.
There is one not far from here, but it always seems kind of ridiculous that Sonic is here and open during winter. Below zero temps, eat in your car? They should have included some indoor seating for customer use in the midwest.

For me I developed a taste for beer in college. It was cheap and often for me (a girl) free in bars, and in college I took what was free or cheap. So that is what I made myself drink. As I drank more I learned to like it. As I have aged, my beers have become more sophisticated. I like the deeper flavors and different styles of brewing. I have a hard time drinking Miller Lite or Coors light stuff anymore because it doesn't have any depth of flavor. Now if I could only do the same with broccoli.

Sorry, but it turns out you were just born that way. A mixture of genetics and evolution; liking broccoli cannot be acquired!!

Ha! Broccoli is one of my favorites. I love broccoli, brussels sprouts, spinach, green beans, etc...but can't stand beer. I'll keep it that way.

I don't bother ironing those things. If we don't need things ironed for a party/business meeting, I don't do it. Especially in the Summer. No one is going to see my wrinkly sheets, and I don't care whether they are ironed or not. If it's not going to affect my health, it's not important enough to be miserable.
I'll go one better.

I don't even own an iron.

When we left there were city services with bulldozers in the roads trying to clear the more main roads. Nobody has power and every individual building has power cables pulled out by uprooted trees. My house is better than my My DD building as our power was not hit by trees just city wide outage vs tree damage. I was with DD when it hit her apartment, we headed down, total white out. For the moment safe harbor but more storms approaching. I hope to go to sleep to pretend this isn't happening as we found a hotel with power.
And I was not that far away on the North Shore when it hit. Not that far, but all they had was some rain. We went to dinner at a Tapas restaurant with family to celebrate DS's birthday. There was a short time of heavier rain (nothing crazy), and then the wait staff went out and squeegied the outdoor tables and chairs to get ready for the dinner rush.

Other than traps does anybody have a way to get ride of Japanese Beetles. I picked off a few off my plants this morning:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
DH battles them every evening when he gets home from work. The best way is just to knock them into a container of soapy water. There is a lot written about how the traps actually just lure more to your area, and make the problem worse.

DH said it looks like their numbers are going down, so hopefully, this part of the year will be done soon!

Super stressed today. Woke up to a message about estate issues. Blech...everything should have been wrapped up MONTHS ago. I'm wondering what the lawyer is even doing, because we don't seem to be getting any closer to being able to sell things. Frustrated!!!
Sympathy like. I hate to ask but is your brother being helpful. xoxo
