If you're planning on having these in your new house, probably better to forget them.
1. Outdoor kitchen and outdoor fire place.
2. Sunroom (Hey, I have one and really enjoy it.)
3. 2-story family room. (Looks neat, but a real waste of space.)
4. Media Room (Overkill)
5. 2-story foyer (Another waste of space.)
6. Luxury master bedroom (Why would you want to get away from the kids?)
7. Formal living room (Probably the biggest waste of space these days. We put Liz's 'puter in there, so it now gets use.).
8. Whirlpool tubs (Hey, I work hard and deserve something soothing.)
9. Master-planned development. (I like these, myself.)
Personally, I Like #2 and #8. --RoadDog

Properly Celebrating the 4th of July-- Part 4-- Staying At Home
Decided to make our 4th of July observance on Monday, July 5th, an at home one.
Besides, I still have lots of work to do out in the yard and accomplished a lot of it. I worked on the front porch flower bed, front of the house, west side, arboretum and Frances' Back 40.
Not only did I work (and working in the yard is not exactly work to me as I ENJOY it) in the yard, but I also got to enjoy it.
I enjoyed tunes and a couple beers out at Heineman's in the arboretum while talking with the neighbors. Then, I had a couple more beers in the gazebo while enjoying peanuts (Liz gets mad at me when I eat peanuts in the shell in the house. For some reason she says I make a mess). Cool breezes there as well.
Then read the newspaper on the front porch and later had corn on the cob OD (On Deck).
Now, This Is Also a Great Way to Celebrate the 4th of July. --RoadDog

Back Home Again
As much as I like traveling, it's always great to get back home again. I got in at about 7:30 PM last night after driving from White House (north of Nashville), Tennessee, where I spend Wednesday night with my nephew and his family.
WEDNESDAY
I left Goldsboro, NC, Wednesday morning and drove US-70 to I-40 and took it all the way to the outskirts of Nashville and then some backroads to their house. Gas was generally around $1.60 to $1.65 with the exception of around Asheville, NC, where it is always ten to twenty cents higher. Ate at the Golden Corral in Winston-Salem. I highly recommend these restaurants when you're on the road.
Interesting sight on the superslab was the pickup truck with a gun rack containing a rifle and an umbrella under it. I guess he didn't want to get wet while shooting something.
Enjoyed Andy and Andrea's kids, Charlie and Aylin, and got to watch some of Charlie's favorite movie "Cars" which was on TV for the first time. Maybe we'll have another Route 66er as he gets older. Charlie is 5 and Aylin two and a half.
THURSDAY
Yesterday, I took I-65 all the way to Remington, Idiana, about half way between Chicago and Indianapolis, and then US-24 to Il-47. Had lunch at a KFC buffet in Lafayette, the Home of Purdue University. This place was not to far from the B-Dub (Buffalo Wild Wings) where we once had to drive back to after I forgot my drivers license which I had to turn in to get NTN boards.
Got the cheapest gas the whole trip at a Pilot station a little south of Indianapolis. It was, get this, $1.50 ($1.49.9)!!! Never thought I'd see gas under $2 again. Something I can definitely live with.
Also got gas at the Becker BP station in Dwight, Illinois, for $1.63. This station is right by the old Route 66 and sells lots of Mother Road memorabilia and is done in a Route 66 motiff, even the Burger King located in the store.
