Fun Things Going On - Nat'l French Fry Day July 13

I hope you have had a wonderful week.  I don't recall ever having had so many thunder storms so close together.  It was certainly a loud week.  My Mom called yesterday and said she had a recall on her 17 year old car.  That in itself is a rather startling statement.  They told her not to drive the car, they would come tow it to the dealership to replace something on the brakes and make sure she had a loaner.  It sounds like Mercedes must have lost a lawsuit as the brakes have been functioning flawlessly for 17 years.  In contrast, my son got a recall also this week from Ford.  There is potentially a bushing missing on the transmission that can cause issues (like fire).  Not to worry, they will contact us some time in November or December when they actually have replacement parts in stock to deal with the issue.  No mention of time or loaner cars.

I love that today is National French Fry day (does anyone remember Freedom Fries?).  I love FF.  John made chili cheese fries for dinner the other evening.  Not the healthiest meal, but it was fantastic.  How do you like your fries?

Here are some fun things going on around the area this week:

July 13th is National French Fry Day
July 13: National French Fry Day

Both the origin of fried potatoes and origin of the term "French fries" are disputed among countries and historians, but wherever they came from, we're glad they’re here. Simple, salty, and delicious, it seems like there's always room for fries, even when you're not hungry, right?

Celebrate today by eating some French fries. (Curly fries and waffle fries count too.) Garnish with your favorite sauce or seasoning, and use #NationalFrenchFryDay on social media to make your friends drool.
If you'd like to discuss your housing needs over a basket of fries or just over the phone, you know who to call.
