There was communion at church yesterday, and they had the common cup. I love common cup, but it’s so rare for churches to offer it post-covid. I was so glad to experience it again. (I took a picture during church)

After church I did some laundry and napped. aaahhhh… the Sunday nap….

In the evening, we had Godfather’s Pizza. It’s always on my list when I come here. It was good.

Yesterday was fun. Church, then a trip to Lincoln. I got a new hat for walking around on the Fourth.

In the evening, I went to my mom’s house. We had summer sausage and cheese and crackers for dinner. Mmm… There were three brands of summer sausage. My favorite was the middle one.

Lauren had found some cheese that she sent along with me.

It was funny, because my mom always says she’s “vintage”. Hehe…

My travel yesterday was mostly good. My flight to Denver was uneventful. And passed quickly, even though I couldn’t get the airplane movie system to work in my phone.

At the Denver airport, I saw an empanada place. Mmm… I like empanadas… I decided to get a ham and cheese one. It was like a Hot Pocket.

While I was eating, I admired my newly-polished shoes. I had stopped by the shoe shine stand.

Next, I got a donut. I really shouldn’t eat donuts, but they’re so delicious.

The walk to my next gate was a far one. It was quite enjoyable. I like waking and people-watching.

My flight to Lincoln was difficult. Lots of turbulence, and the airplane was HOT. I thought I was going to be sick.

Fortunately, I made it without throwing up. And fortunately, I cooled down once I sat in the airport for a bit. Because I went with family to The Outlaw Steakhouse in Garland.

Nebraska beef! Yum!

When I chatted with the people across from me at our church’s music ministry dinner, they mentioned that they were from Carson, which is near where I live. They recommended a restaurant called “Back Home in Lahaina”. I went there last night.

It was so fun. It really seemed like a restaurant in Maui – the food, the decorations, the music… It was also a little sad. There was a mural of Front Street on the wall:

I got fish, it was delicious. I had to chuckle a little at the salad. I had this at many potlucks. People in Maui called it “Chinese salad”. It’s cabbage, with vinaigrette dressing, sesame seeds, and uncooked ramen noodles.

It was good food and a fun experience. I will definitely go back.

I went to Chick-fil-a yesterday, and, wanting to mix things up a little, I got a grilled chicken sandwich. I’ve had one before, and I like them, but I don’t like the bun they use for them, so I asked the order-taker if I could have the regular bun. And she said: “The white bun?”

I said: “Yes, the regular one. The one without the grooves on it. The one from the regular chicken sandwich.” I think I repeated myself again before paying and driving forward.

Afterward, I was thinking how much I must’ve sounded like an old man. She was using the hip, young-person lingo to talk about my order, and I was talking about grooves.

Ah well, at least I got what I wanted.

It was tasty.
