Dinner, Shopping and a Movie

July 27 -  Well, today was my last day at Ferry Hill.  Bill works tomorrow and he’s doing our last day on Wednesday.  I have certainly learned a lot about life on the canal, the people of Ferry Hill as well as tidbits here and there from our visitors who are always willing to share stories and information.  I have really enjoyed working with Suzanna and I hope someday she will be back in the US and can visit us in Florida or wherever we are at the time.  It was really a slow day but I did do 2 tours.

Bill rode up with me and rode his bike back.  Then he gave both bikes a bath.  His was really dirty so I know it felt better after.  He did the dishes and odds and ends so when I got home we could leave for Martinsburg.  It was a bit sad that it would be our last trip there.  After a quick stop at Advance Auto Parts we went to the movie.  Today’s movie of choice was “RIPD”.  It was funny, touching and really different.  The worst part of the movie was I had difficulty understanding Jeff Bridges.  He certainly didn’t enunciate very well. 

Because we needed to stop at Wal-mart right beside there, we didn’t want to drive off someplace to eat and have to come back so we ate at Texas Steakhouse, which is pretty much the same as Texas Roadhouse and Logan’s Steakhouse.  We were seated promptly and our server was attentive.  So it was OK.  Then we divided the list for Wal-mart so make it quicker.  This would be our last Wal-mart stop until we reach Sherando and locate where the shopping is.  On the way out of town we made a quick stop at Aldi for our favorite 85% chocolate bars and I picked up our favorite peanuts in case we don’t have one anywhere near us.  We were home around 9 so not a late night out.  Read and watched some TV.
