A girlfriend and I hit Goodwill the other day and if nothing else, it’s a great place to pick up cheap books.

.

.

16 books for $21? A little slice of heaven right there.

Of course, even thrift store shopping isn’t immune to politics these days…

And while I didn’t buy that tee shirt, I did buy this one. Because, honestly…. I had to.

I shall wear it and point at myself the next time my husband disagrees with me. That should go over well.

My girlfriend was in the mood for Cracker Barrel so that’s where we headed for lunch. The restaurant was almost empty but the hostess told us there would still be a 20-25 minute wait to be seated due to short staffing. (I’m seriously tired of waiting for meals… have all the pre Covid waiters and waitresses been abducted by aliens and given the anal probe? If not… please go back to work. River be hungry. )

Since it was raining we chose to wander the store instead of sitting outside on the rocking chairs, and that’s where I saw this:

For which I have no logical explanation.

But perhaps the biggest surprise of the day?

.

.

Alcohol… at Cracker Barrel!

When did that happen? Granted it’s not a favorite restaurant of mine and I probably haven’t stepped foot in one since my mother passed but it seems like I would have noticed such a momentous event.

Since their beer was dishwater I opted for a mimosa, which was close to dishwater only fizzy… but yes, it was alcohol!

At Cracker Barrel!

The world really has gone mad.
