Thanksgiving approaches and we're going out

My brother wired us $50.00 for Thanksgiving dinner, so we're going out. I went to MoneyTree yesterday evening to pick the money up. I'm think we're going to Denny's Restaurant, but this could change by Thanksgiving. Wherever we go we're going to have to catch either the CAT bus or an appointment for Paratransit to take us there.

Yesterday morning I went to the banks, telephone office and Food 4 Less. When I got home there were two messages on my answering machine from my brother about the money. I didn't get a chance to Paratransit to make an appoint for transportation to work on Tuesday, so today I'm going to have to make an appointment for both Tuesday and Wednesday. By the time I got back home last night their offices were closed.

When I call today I'll ask them about Thanksgiving. If they have bus service that day, then we may go to one of the hotel coffee shops for Thanksgiving. The hotel-casinos here have good Thanksgiving menus, it's the regular turkey dinner, but it's good and we can bring home any thing we don't eat.

I did one thing yesterday that I don't normally do. I knew when I took the bus to MoneyTree that I would be getting home after day. The walk from the bus stop on East Charleston to my house is about 1/2 or 3/4 mile walk. I usually don't like to go any place when I know I'll be getting home after dark. When I had a car I didn't mind, but now that I'm taking a bus I'm a bit more cautious. I got home safely of course.
