Out for lunch

 Far Guy and I went out for lunch after our Defensive Driving Class.  We take the class every three years it gets you a 10 % discount on Car Insurance and gives you a refresher/reminder of what to do and not do. 


We picked up a few misc things in town, came home and had a nap.

That is a great course to take; I took it once. Sure is a wake call as how you are driving.

Nice to be able to 'go out to lunch'.

We eat in the car when we have to go to an appointment that is hours away, otherwise the other half is a super home-body.

A&W! We don't have any locally! Love them!

It's been a long time since I've seen one of those trays! :-)

I took the refresher course in April. It’s good to keep upon the latest laws.

Oh my - a tray on the car window with a burger and root beer from A & W - one of those great memories of childhood. About 10 years ago I was in Michigan with a girlfriend, and her sister-in-law drove us around in her old red Oldsmobile convertible for a couple of fun days. And we stopped at a Dog n Suds still doing the car hop service. It was such fun!

What memories that photo brings back. We had a drive-in restaurant in my hometown (not an A&W) and it was a real treat for us to go out to eat. Didn't happen often that's for sure.
I love the idea of a discount for taking a defensive driving course. We are able to get a discount for safe driving - it increases over five years.

That is a great photo!

I remember those A&W days! Teen burger was always my favourite. Back then the burgers were substantial, not like the thin ones they have now.
Nice 2 door hardtop car!

Your lunch is on a car-tray! I must say I have NEVER seen anything like that here. The only time I have seen one used was on the Happy Days tv show :)

The window tray brings back memories.

That is a classic shot with your car at the drive in A&W.

We used to have A & W in Spokane, but they closed a few years ago. I'll have to check here and see if there are any around. Dennis loves their rootbeer.
The class sounds like a great idea.
Blessings,
Betsy

I haven't seen a drive in like that for years and years.

A&W with car hop dining! Cool. We don't have any of those around here. Tilly would have fit right in.

Gosh, I wish that refresher course was offered in my state. I think it would be useful. What a fun lunch!!

It has been a long long time since we had car hop service.

Well good for you guys. I've never heard of the defensive driving class. Sounds like a good idea. That Hamburger looks good too!
