The kids got out of school at noon today. Sara, Brent, and I drove into Jackson for lunch. It was about a 30 minute trip. After getting into the area, we drove around for quite awhile looking for a place to eat.
I am always intrigued by the differences in Jackson. The area around the capitol building is what you would expect...well maintained, large buildings and nice parks dotted here and there. Just a few blocks away is an area that looks as if it has been bombed out.
Brent said that because it is a historic area, any building must stay with the original architectural theme...bricks, windows, layout, etc. As a result, nothing is being renovated in the area. I can understand wanting to preserve historical areas, but what would you do with a pile of rubble. Not much! So the area just sits there, falling apart brick by brick.
We chose a Greek restaurant across from the Governor's Mansion. The food was good and the location was great, but we didn’t see “hide nor hair” of the gov. Actually, we really didn’t expect to.
We left Sara at a friend’s house on the way home. Brent’s crystal ball showed a nap in his future, so mine must of shown the same thing.
For dinner, Brent made spaghetti with deer sausage. It was very good. And, no, he didn’t hunt, kill, and slaughter the critter. A friend of his did all those dastardly deeds and shared the booty.
We spent the evening watching the final episode of Survivor. Since I don’t enjoy all the scheming and bickering, it was a good time for me to start watching.
