Outings and Errands

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Many weeks I take the car out only once. I shop at the supermarket and run errands in Waynesville. This week I had my annual appointment with the dermatologist in Clyde. As a reward for taking care of myself, I went a few doors down to Dollar Tree. Most things in the store cost $1.25. I was looking for Valentine dishes and a helium balloon. They had beautiful dishes for Thanksgiving last fall, but only red items for February. That was nothing special. There were no Valentine balloons, either. Normally I would look until I found something to buy, but this time I just walked out.

Practically next door was Burger King. I treated myself to a Bacon King burger. It was much bigger than I thought it would be, but I ate the whole thing. I saw a steady stream of cars stopping at the drive-through window. Inside, a new customer came in about every five or ten minutes. It was a slow time at 2:30. Since there wasn’t much to watch, I noticed Burger King crowns on every table. The one on my table demanded to be worn, so I took a selfie. It may have wanted me to wear it outside, but I drew the line at that.

  12. I had to giggle! I loved the picture of you in your Burger King crown. All hail to Queen Anne!

    I loved going to Burger King as a child and getting a crown! We only went when we traveled out of state.
