CORN DOGS for supper

By
Real Estate Agent with Dirt Road Real Estate BR645447000

Perspective, after a VERY busy day.... built a horse shelter in the morning, painted the inside of the garage on the home we are building, then off to a showing, and finishing with a listing appointment....  my husband had an equally packed day.  Hubby is usually our very creative cook, and he truly cares about WHAT we eat, but tonight he offers, can we drive to town (25minutes) and have corn dogs and a root bear float for supper.  I have NO idea why this sounded like a good idea and I'm equally shocked that it ended up being the VERY BEST idea. 

We enjoyed conversation as I drove us to supper (he loaned his truck to a neighbor who doesn't have an operational vehicle so they borrow my husbands truck to go to town once a week to do shopping, laundry, etc.) we enjoyed sitting in the gas station A&W root bear to eat our corn dogs and continue to enjoy each others company.  We could have done this over a fancy meal, spent an hour and had amazing food.... but all we really wanted to do was eat a quick easy meal and get home to relax. 

Sometimes it is the very smallest simple pleasures that really mean the world.

When we got home it gave me time to walk the dogs over to the new house and let them hang around in it for 30minutes, looking out the windows running around like maniac's, acclimating them for the transition.  I want them to be as excited about the new house as I am.  Then back to the temporary home, the little tiny temporary home to relax and get ready for tomorrow. 

Embrace the little tiny things, because at the end of your days - the little things will look like the BIG THINGS!!!!!  Savor your corn dogs!!!!

Good morning Elise. You have a way of making corn dogs sound gourmet when coupled with an A&W Root Beer. Awesome! Enjoy your day.

Hi Elise,
I came here from a link on Leanne Smith's blog post today. I hope you've read it!

I love that you consider a corn dog to be supper. I splurged and had a hot dog from Costco for dinner last night. 😊

Yes Leanne makes me blush occasionally, makes me proud MOST of the time and is just genuinely a GREAT asset to Dirt Road Real Estate.  I'm very lucky to have such a diverse group of realtors working with me - they all have very different strengths and weakness's - but put them all together and they are literally DINO-MITE!   I'm so glad you enjoyed your CostCo supper!

Hi Elise Harron - I bought a box of frozen corn dogs last week.  They are all gone!  Simple things like a corn dog and an A&W Root Beer float sound wonderful!
