My Mother -- Hilda -- arrived yesterday from Florida. This is her now annual Spring-time visit to Arkansas. She will be here for a week.
She flew up from Orlando to Memphis & then over to Little Rock, arriving on time & allowing us to race on down the Interstate in my truck, just as the latest thunderstorm was coming upon us. Still, we made it to my home -- mostly -- high & dry.
One thing remains the same when each one visits the other; we tend to eat "fast food" for lunch. Both my Mother & me prefer to fix our own meals & eat at home normally. Still, eating a bit of "junk" for lunch, while on these "vacations", enables us to get away from the house for awhile & allow Hilda to ... "see the sights of Arkansas". [Yeah, RIGHT.]
On today's tour, we moseyed on over to England -- Arkansas !!! -- for burgers at the local Sonic Drive-in.
WAIT. What is a "mosey" ?? Is it the same as a "sauntered" ??
Whatever !!!
We had our cheeseburgers, along with fries for Hilda & tots for me.
Nothing like a cheeseburger combo, siting in a truck, on a cool Spring day. Good tasting food & cheap !
And Sonic treats are yummy too! Hope your mum has a great visit.
ReplyDeleteFast food is one thing I bitch and moan about but I still end of hitting the local McDonald's drive through far too much. Between the kids and their activities and my own schedule sometimes that is only way to get a quick dinner.
ReplyDeleteHilda's looking good...hope she enjoys her visit. Since she is an original Brit, I'm sure she was impressed with Arkansas's England. Is the "hubcap" burger joint still there?

Chotham's was driven past on our way thru Scott, Ark., on the way back from England. Due to the "look" of the place -- old/un-painted/sagging roof & floors -- I'm not too sure Hilda would enjoy the place/food as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteMosey is a little s-l-o-w-e-r than a saunter. Mosey means you can stop and take your time and look and veer off slighty on your way...saunter means a more even walk with just a little hip and body sway and no stopping.
ReplyDeleteWe were hungry, so we must have sauntered ... by truck.
ReplyDeletePlease give Hilda a big hug from me. Hope your storms are over with so she won't have to endure that while she's visiting. Have fun, you two!!

The major surprise of this visit for Hilda -- so far -- is the friendly acceptance of her by the cats, which even includes THE WOBBLER.
ReplyDeleteAs if three cats don't give you enough divine love. It's hard to believe the "annual" visit is here again. Fast year! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAnd now her visit is almost over. Mom flies out at 6 A.M. tomorrow.
