The McDonald's we would go to is right by Brian's dad's place and it always has a vintage car on display there. This time it was a Ford Thunderbird. (See pix below)
We also drove to Richmond to see Brian's grandmother who lives with her son, Mike, and his family. She's such a sweetheart! Though 91, her mind (and her humor) is as sharp as ever. Every time we see her, she'd tell us, "I always hope that ya'll come home but I pray to the Lord for His will to be done.." It's always hard to leave after we see her and wish we could spend more time with her. (See her pix with Brian below)
While we were in VA., we had some really good food. Of course, we went to Applebee's - where Brian ALWAYS orders the Tequila Lime Chicken. Then, we had baby back ribs at this mom & pop bbq restaurant near Mike's place - Chuck's Smokehouse & Tavern. The ribs I had were so, so good! The meat practically fell off the bones! Their prices were very reasonable, too. So, if you're ever in Colonial Heights, VA., do visit Chuck!

The weather here in the east hasn't been too cold the last two weeks but it started to get cold last night. Today has been freezing! It must be between 0 - 5 Celsius outside now!
When we got in last evening, we had smoked turkey again. I had 2 huge helpings! I was so stuffed! But it was good! I guess we have to go easy on the turkey before we overdose on it on Thanksgiving on Thursday.
I cannot believe that my break is soon coming to an end. It seems like just yesterday we were in Mexico. However, during these last few days, we'll be taking it easy - other than visiting downtown Baltimore on Wednesday, we'll just be hanging around the house to do some work, watch tv and play with Prancer - the cat of the house. Will tell you more about Prancer in my next posting as dinner is ready and 'Dancing with the Stars' is coming on soon. Cheers...
