Friday we had no school, sleep-in, relaxed, peaceful day that lasted until about 7:15 when Nancy jumped up with a great idea. "Let's re-arrange the house. We'll put the dining room stuff in the living room and move the living room into the dining room" I was too drowsy to think of a good reason not to...so we did. Wow, what a difference it has made. We have so much more usable space and it looks a lot better as well. What a woman!
We also took a short shopping trip to a store called "Lidl's". It is named for the brother of Aldi's. Seriously, they flipped a coin. Aldi got the US and Lidl got Europe. The stores are exactly the same right down to pay for the cart and bring your own bags. The layout of the stores is the same and the one here carries some things that other places do not. They do have some brands that are a bit different. They carry Lisas (chips), Nougat Pillows and Wellness Flakes (cereals), Bimbo Bread, and Finkbrau (beer) which I don't think I would buy even if I had a use for it. I bought a box of "MyTime" as well. You will not guess what it is. We will keep you posted as we discover more of these. We also have a lot of familiar brands as well. Total and BP gas, Pantene hair care, Nestles (with General Mills), and Kellogg's, etc.
Of course, the best stuff is unbranded fresh and homemade (in somebody else's kitchen or a restaurant). We love a place that sells grilled chicken and fries by the kilogram. We were there early the other day and the owner was peeling real potatoes for the fries. No wonder they are so good!!!
