Dinner with Pauline & Brent
The sunrise was nice for a while, but by the time we were leaving for a visit with Pauline and Brent it had started sprinkling rain. We stopped for gas in Burkesville and then headed towards Glasgow and on to P&B's house. We were pulling in their driveway and noticed Pauline had a different car. We went inside and she said the other one had a small problem and she was driving the one in the drive until her car was fixed. We let the dogs greet each other (butt sniffing) and play for a little while. Brent let them out and back inside before we went to Bowling Green to eat. O'Charley's had been picked, so we drove there and went inside, I almost was inside, when Linda turned around saying there were too many people waiting to eat. We loaded back into the truck and drove to Applebee's, too many there too. I pulled across Scottsville Road and into the Toot's lot. No problem with crowds there, they were busy, but we were seated right away and ordered. Our food came shortly and we began enjoying lunch. Toots is a sports bar with lots of TVs for viewing from every seat. We were talking and Brent said they had been to Toots the night before with three other couples. We laughed and asked why they didn't say something when I pulled into the lot. They both said they liked eating there and it didn't matter as we were finishing our meals. Brent bought lunch for all of us and then we went to the mall and walked around the entire place. Pauline bought a few things and Linda and Stacey bought us a clock for the upstairs pool room. We made the lap of the mall and then went to the 'Flea Market' and did a lap there too. Then to the Corvette Antique Mall for the last lap. By the time we left there it was dark and pouring down rain. We trucked back to P&B's house and talked a little while longer before loading Missy and us into the truck and heading for home. The rain was intense, puddling on the road and cars were going slower, but we made it home without any problems.
