Last night I drove over to my daughter's in Seabrook, to accompany her to the Seabrook Liberty group meet-up. It was Chop Shop Pub, essentially a Biker bar. The place is Huge! Big patio out front, too.
I instantly fell in love with the political vibe of the decor, and was relieved the food was good. ( It was build-a-burger night, which I instantly joked that I was there for the Bilderberger meeting - kinda shocked I was the only one to think of that. 😄)
Waitress/bar wench was awesome, and the group was a pretty big turnout. I met lots of new faces, and my daughter may have met a new friend. 😉
(Okay, okay, so I kind of set it up that he would be there, so she could meet him. 😇)
Two doors before the place is a cat rescue storefront. I've never seen such a place. Beautiful, adorable kitties, all hanging out in this window-lined place.😻
There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!
