It’s been very cold and snowy outside the last couple of weeks, so my wife and I have not gone to very many places.
I hate to drive the car in the snow and ice.
Mostly we stay at home each evening when we come back from work. We watch different movies on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, but it is usually the same thing day after day. Since the weather has been extremely cold, we have eaten a lot of soup and sandwiches for dinner. I was tired of soup last night, and I suggested going to a local diner for a change of plans. My wife was hesitant to leave the house, but I convinced her to go. When we got to the restaurant, we found out that they were closed. They were supposed to be open, but they closed early that day because of heating problems. There was a furnace repair truck parked in the employee parking lot and we could see lights inside of the building, but the doors were closed and locked. We didn’t want to drive all the way to the city to get food, so we ended up going back to the house for soup. At least we were warm and comfortable. Our furnace works very well, thanks to a tune up a couple of months ago. We paid extra to make sure that the furnace would last all winter and not give us any problems. It is worth a few extra dollars to have peace of mind when the temperatures are cold and icy.
