You Don't Know Jacques- May 21

There is a group that is predicting that the world will end today.  NO WAY!  NOT ON MY BIRTHDAY!

Since I retired a few years ago, I’ve celebrated my birthday in different places – Machu Picchu, Turkey, Egypt, and this year in Opelika, Alabama visiting with Molly, Lewis, and Meeso.

It was a day with some new experiences starting with my first pedicure – a gift from Molly.   I think I could easily get hooked.  Molly helped me choose a nail polish color  – You Don’t Know Jacques –she said it goes with everything.

Then it was my first ride through Goo-Goo.  I liked it so much I did it again with Bill.  Goo-Goo is a car wash.   You stay in your car, put it in neutral, sit back, and go through a shower, wipe down, and blow dryer - like a ride in Disney.  No franchise in Florida yet but hopefully coming soon.

The one thing I like about Opelika is hearing the train whistles.  Downtown is Railroad St. along the train tracks where the old brick buildings are now restaurants and shops.  One is a bar called Irish Bred Pub. If you’re lucky enough to be there when a train passes through you can get a shot for one dollar.  We ended the day there - great atmosphere, beer, and music.

For my next birthday I wish for new experiences and new places.
