I'd Drive A Long Ways for a Good Apple!

Okay...so I did alot of crying, whining and bitching on my last post, but it sure felt good to talk it out, even if it's just on a computer blog page. I know my life is pretty good. I may not be married to the most exciting or romantic man in the world...hardy-har-har...but at least he's someone I can count on. He's dependable and he's good at fixing things!! Which is great for me, cause I'm always breaking things.

So life goes on......

I drove up to Caseville last Thursday for a few days. I went by myself and left the dogs and the Pigeon home. It's nice to have the freedom to stop along the way and shop and not worry about the pets in the car. The Eagles Club was having an Ugly Sweater party on Saturday night, so I went up there wearing the most hideous sweater (in my opinion). It had huge sunflowers and bumblebees and lady bugs on it. But there were other hideous sweaters as well, so I didn't win...but we had alot of fun. There was a DJ and we all danced our asses off!

I got alot of yard work done while I was there.....and I put out all my halloween decorations inside my place. At night, I would light all my pumpkin smelling candles and just relaxed on the couch and watched TV in peace.

I left Tuesday. I decided to take a different route and drive past Caro and past Reese and go to Frankenmuth for a shopping trip. I mean, no dogs, no bird and no husband....I can drive aimlessly around and go wherever I want and shop and shop and shop!

One of the things that hubby wanted me to do is make sure I picked up some HoneyCrisp Apples while they are in season in the Caseville area. On my way Thursday I stopped at a big produce stand in Caro and bought 3 apples to try them out. Some years, the Honey Crisp apples are too sour and not a good batch. But these were perfect. So I made a mental note to make sure I stopped in Caro and buy a huge bag full of them on my way home.

Wellllllll, I was so excited to get to Frankenmuth I totally forgot to drive by the produce stand and get the damn apples! I was almost to Frankenmuth when I remembered. Should I turn around and go back??....20 miles or so? I figured that surely there must be some apple stands in the Frankenmuth area and I can take a chance and buy them there and hope they are of a good quality. I got to Frankenmuth and walked the whole town and shopped. But I never saw any produce stands. There was a Krogers....and I was so tempted....but buying apples at Krogers?, hell, I could do that at home.

So I did what a good wife should do. Hubby said to buy Honey Crisp apples and that is what I had to do. So instead of leaving Frankenmuth and driving south and getting on the expressway, which would be the faster way to go....I decided to drive ALLLLLLLL the way back to Caro and buy those damn apples! Luckily, the stand was still open when I got there and bought a big bag of them. Then I just drove home the way I always do.

Sooooooooo, after 40 years of marriage I get a day-old brat and he gets a whole bag of apples! Yeah, I know...I'm still bitchin' a little...
