It's Powerball Saturday - tonight's drawing is worth almost one billion dollars. Yep, one billion dollars. I've got my tickets, so all I need to do is wait until they draw my winning numbers.
But no need to worry - if I win, it won't change me one bit. I promise you. I still will live in this same house, drive the same Odyessy, and eat and drink the same things. Only I might do it from a Lear jet.
Stay tuned.
I switched things up and did my weekly grocery shopping this morning at Krogers. It was a pain in the ass, I will say. They are remodeling the store, and adding a liquor store. The parking lot is a frightmare. They have a one-way lane to get in to the store parking lot. I'm glad I had plenty of time today to get in and out. But it is what it is.
The really frustrating part was how the store is changing the aisles. It took me ten minutes to walk through the store to find where the V8 juice had been moved too. But at least I got in my steps.
We are thankful today that we got some more rain late last night. It wasn't a gully washer, but it was rain none the less.
I hope the farmers got more rain than we did.
It wasn't much, but we got a few minutes of much needed rain this morning. The grass is now almost all brown, which means we haven't had to pay our grass cutter for the past two weeks. But I digress. I know the farmers here in Kentucky and all around need rain. I would be happy for a full day of rain here.
I read an interesting article about many foods that didn't need to be stored in the refrigerator. Mustard and ketchup were two items listed. I had no idea. Now that I thought about it, you always see mustard and ketchup bottles out on the tables in restaurants. I can't imagine that employees would gather all of them up when the restaurant closes and put them in the refrigerator, and then have to get them out the next morning and put them back out on the tables.
I did a little research, and mustard is made to be immune to bacteria, so that means it should (key word) never spoil.
I especially reminisced about The Gala that we put on back on 9-24-16. We had all of the family on the Puckett side there, as well as friends who are like family to us. All in all we had a house full. It was an awesome day - I don't remember my parents being as happy as they were that day. This picture taken the morning of The Gala is proof.
At my Saturday trip to Krogers this morning, I noticed less masks than in the previous few weeks. But as I say every week, that doesn't bother me, because I still mask up to keep the Old Man and me safe.
I did hear about two friends having Covid this week. And I am still so thankful that the Old Man and I haven't had it.
