50 at 50 - weekend update

 

One of the things I am learning about this 50 at 50 list is that I have to be flexible.  Things happen and plans have to be changed from time to time and that is OK!!! One of my original goals was to get to Dad and June's at least once each month.  Well, they've had some things going on and sometimes were not feeling well and we had some winter weather that prevented me going in January.  But I did make it there this past weekend.  We had a great visit.  I took them a cake and some chili. Dad texted me the next day to say how much they were enjoying both.  June was in good spirits. Even though she admitted several times that she's forgetting things, she was very upbeat, and we had a good time together.

I had also planned to eat at a local "new to me" restaurant.  That changed as well.  I did eat at a local restaurant just not in Greensboro.  Dad really wanted to go to a place in Angier called Ed's Family Restaurant.  He goes there on occasion but really likes the food.  He and June used to go there more often when she felt like getting out. But he was craving their hamburger steak and so that's where we went.  Let me tell you, that food was awesome.  It's just good southern comfort food.  The portions are great, and the price was very reasonable. I had a country fried steak sandwich, which I'd never had before.  It was absolutely delicious. I will be more than happy to go back whenever Dad suggests it!

I also looked into what all I need to get a passport.  Given the aviation disasters that occurred last week, I don't know if I'll ever use it as I'm not a huge fan of flying, but I would still like to have one.  It's like an adult rite of passage for me.  So, now I need to locate my birth certificate.  It's here....somewhere LOL and once I find it, then I'll begin the paperwork.

So, I am on my way to achieving some of my fun goals.  Can't wait to see what I work on next!
