Lunch with Julia

I get the wonderful privilege to hanging out with Julia Tweedy. She's 72, she loves her cat "Blessing", and she's from New York! She's fabulous! On Wednesday she had day surgery at Trinity Hospital. When we finally left the hospital it was around 1:15 PM. She had not eaten anything since about 7:30 the night before. She was pretty tired but still very hungry. So here is the conversation we had in the car on the way home...

Julia: I'm hungry.
Krystal: Do you want me to stop and pick you up something?
J: I want a fish sandwich from Arbys!
K: Are you sure Arbys has fish sandwiches? I thought that Wendy's has a new fish sandwich.
J: No, no, no... let's go to Arbys.
We pull up to Arbys, well we try, I missed the entrance the first time and the drive-thru the second time. (Third times the charm!)
K: Julia do you want the combo meal or the two sandwiches for $4.00?
J: The two for $4.00, that sounds good.
K: Do you want anything else?
J: A small curly fry.
K: Do you want anything else?
J: A small unsweetened Ice tea with lemon.
K: Do you want anything else?
J: Ummmmm... a apple turnover!
K: OK... Miss tweedy, that's a lot of food, are you going to eat it all now?
J: Oh no, that's why I got two sandwiches, I'll save one for dinner.
K: OK
So $7.99 later Julia has a meal that she takes home. She loves fish sandwiches. She wishes there was a Long John Silver around, but until one is built she will deal with Fish sandwiches from Arbys!

Hope this makes you smile! :o)

MY DAD THE PHILOSOPHER

Saturday Nights are Family Nights! I go to mom and dad's and hang out and eat dinner. Ashley comes over and we usually watch House Hunters on HGTV. Joseph usually has steak and so does Ashley, and I usually have chicken. Anywho... I was watching TV with Poppers, aka dad and a commercial for a credit card came on. The woman told her husband that they needed a new TV. Instantly this song came on with lyrics that go something like this, "I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now!" My dad then says, "This is the song of a new generation."

I thought wow my dad is right, it's so true, that is how everything is! Wow dad what a deep thinker you are! Wow, maybe my dad is the new Socrates or some other famous thinker! Needless to say I looked at my dad a little differently.

Then Monday Night I was talking to my mom and the same commercial came on. I told her what dad said and how I was really impressed with his assessment of culture today. She laughed and told me that she had commented on the commercial on Friday night to dad. So basically poppers had just repeated what mom had said the night before.

So maybe my dad isn't Socrates, but I love him! And it is still true, our generation wants it all and now!
