We overslept

We overslept but did make it to church this morning. It has been raining pretty constantly for the last day or two. Marion County was under a flood watch. The motocross riders must have had fun, but the field where everyone camped is really torn up and muddy. After church I mentioned Cracker Barrel, so Bob and I drove to Wichita for that. They have a lot of new menu items. I was relatively healthy. I ordered grilled, marinated chicken tenders and they were so good. I got baby carrots and broccoli for sides, plus biscuits and corn muffins. Then we went back to Newton to do some laundry and pick up a few groceries, plus a fresh furnace filter. I have eaten a snacky evening meal, and had a big cup of coffee. A person I knew and worked with at a couple of places was coming in to the laundry as I was leaving and she recognized me. . . it has been at least ten years since I had seen her. We did a little catching up. My sister's friend, Ron, called me and we talked a bit. Some of the water has soaked in, but I hear we will get more rain tonight. I am ready for it to stop. Cool weather this week. I am nearly ready to just go to bed. I am putting things in the dryer, but that will go on until tomorrow. Now I am going to poke around here, and maybe go get a cookie from @DaddyEvil.

Those chicken tenders sound amazing! If you go to bed, how will you get a cookie from me? I picked up a plum from the kitchen and brought it back to my bed with me... I don't know if it will taste okay or be bitter like the other fruit I've tried to eat the last few days. It finally stopped raining for a little while but The Weather Channel shows it will start raining/storming again in about an hour according to the weather radar. We topped out at 66F this afternoon but it's already back to 61F now and heading for an overnight low of 55F. I hope you have a good evening/night.

@LindaOHio Plums taste fine again. I haven't tried anything else to see if it tastes better now. I am getting hungry and was thinking about getting something to eat. If Pretty's awake, I'll ask her if she's hungry and fix a couple of chicken sandwiches. (A chicken patty didn't taste good a few days ago. I hope it does now.)

@DaddyEvil I hope the chicken patty tasted normal.

I'll join you both for a cookie. I have washing on the go but I doubt it will dry by tonight. Although it's under cover I think it's a bit too cold for it to dry thoroughly.

@GardenGerty the climate indeed has gone bad these days, all because of climate change. We are getting rains for the past days and it has been awful.

The rain has finally stopped. I guess I am memorable. It is funny as I had been thinking of this lady.

It took an extra five days to dry out and get a totally rainless day.

I do not know what was in the marinade, but it certainly made those tenders tender.
