T Stands for Another in the Car Picnic

 Hi everyone. 

Hope your October has started off in a good way, and everyone is staying healthy. 

I managed to keep myself out of trouble last week, which is always a good thing.  Over  the weekend we brought our boat home to store it for the winter. That always makes my husband a bit on the blue side. I can't say the temperatures have been warm enough for boating lately however, and the marina closes the lawn storage next weekend. Another season wraps up. Sad or not, it is time.

Speaking of time, time  for T again, the first one of October. Stop by Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to see what the T ladies have been doing and what they have been drinking. 

My drink today goes back to my road trip to the White Mountains 2 1/2 weeks ago. If you missed those posts and want to read them you can find them here: Part 1  and Part 2. My husband and I had driven about 2 hours north of our house to the mountains for a little change of scenery. We brought some snacks, because what's a road trip without snacks? We didn't bring lunch though. When we reached our northern apex after a meandering drive and had also watched a couple trains at the Cog Railroad, we decided we needed some real food before we drove the couple of hours home.

We weren't exactly in an easy place to get some lunch. The cog railroad station had some food, but  the food was expensive and sitting under a heat lamp. No thank you. If we weren't in the middle of the covid19 epidemic, we could have visited the beautiful old Mount Washington hotel restaurant for probably a really nice lunch. We've done take out and sat outside in open areas for food, but we're not ready to go sit down inside. Plus that day it was too cold to sit outside and eat.

That left us one option. Get a take out sandwich at a deli at the local  general store.

What was interesting was that the general store (as you can sort of see in the above photo) was an old train station. I am guessing that this station was where passengers going to the Mount Washington Hotel for a summer holiday (back in  the early 1900's) disembarked from the trains that brought those tourists to the area from points further south. I should have gotten a better photo, but at the time I wasn't thinking T post.

Inside the general store they had a deli, so we ordered sandwiches. We had decided we would go back what was maybe a quarter mile back down the road to a rest area we had passed. We could park, have our lunch and enjoy the view.

This was my view from the driver's seat of my car. You can see the Mount Washington Hotel on the left and Mount Washington behind it and off the the right. The fence is there as there is a big drop off down to the road.

Here's my lunch. I had a turkey wrap with some veggies and a bag of Doritos. I haven't had Doritos in maybe 8 or 10 years. They tasted pretty good for switch, but I couldn't finish the bag. I couldn't finish my sandwich either.

And here's my drink.

Keeping this post short today. I am waiting for the dentist to call me back as last night I had an issue with a tooth. I hate that, not knowing when they can squeeze you in. I feel like I need to be ready in case they say can you come right now. Of course, they rarely do that.

I will get by your blog also, but depending on the dental call, it might be later. 

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week.
