One of those fabric fish came
through the store this week, and I got it for Poolie. She so loves it that she’s even posed for
pictures with it. Every day we try to
bring a little something…usually it is a root beer float from Wendy’s….a fast
food place I boycott. She loves em.
This day the
https://thecravory.com/>Cravory
sent us a post offering a free cookie. George
braved traffic and bought a whole dozen which included my two favorites, the
lemon and chocolate truffle. Why brave
traffic? Right before rush hour, the
main giant water main that runs along side the freeway 8 East burst creating a
nice sized sink hole in 8 East. We take
8 East to Poolies house. That blow out
caused three more water main breaks on nearby Morena Blvd.
We got the cookies and
float with a bit of traffic struggle. Every
road out of here was blocked. We tried
to get on 5 South to get around it, but we found ourselves on 5 North. Endlessly Balboa, to Convoy, to Aero Drive,
to Sand Rock, to Gramercy, to Poolies street. An hour and a half drive instead of 15
minutes. I considered it an adventure.
She flat out loved the
lemon cookies.

The cookies were worth the effort
ReplyDeleteYour friend's reaction made it all worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteThen it was all worth it.
ReplyDeleteOur youngest was caught in traffic because of the water main break. Haven't heard of that cookie shop -- will have to check it out the next time we're in town (won't be for a while, regrettably). I didn't know Wendy's offered Root Beer floats! We go to Wendy's most times when we have to go to B'field for dr's appts. It's close to the freeway we take to go back home. Why do you boycott it? I don't shop at Tarjay or Hobby Lobby if I can help it. I guess we all have our personal boycotts to support.
ReplyDeleteI don't shop there because my friend Hilka green died of food poisening after dinner there. I like Tarjay but boycott walmart because of their pay practices. No Hobby Lobby;s here.
DeleteGood seeing Poolie sitting up. Wow, root beer float AND lemon cookies? Perfect and worth the extra effort.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and George, such good friends, quite a trek. Happy to see Poolie vertical.
