I thought I would share a fun mishap my brother and I made one year when my mom sent us to the store to pick up a Roast for dinner. My mom sent my brother and I to the store to get a Roast and we couldn’t find any. We made a mistake and we purchased Corned Beef. Man on man my mom was upset and I don’t remember if she cooked the Corned Beef or sent us back to the store or went herself.
Before you ask me if I can ask her what happened I can’t because my mom is gone and no, I don’t think my brother would remember but it might be a nice reason to reach out and ask him because it would allow me to check on him since he is in Oklahoma and were in Texas and I miss my brother a lot. It might be time for a Road Trip. Would you like to go to Oklahoma with me?
