Root Beer Fav

What is your favorite root beer?

I have always like root beer. I would order it when we went out to dinner if the restaurant offered root beer on the menu, Second choice would be Dr. Pepper. If they didn’t have either one, then I was OK with a Coke or Pepsi.

I like Hires root beer but my favorite is A & W root beer. I used to get Hires root beer in tall, dark glass bottles. But now I can buy it in cans, for about 50 cents a can, and I try to always have 2 or 3 cans of A & W chilling in the refrigerator.

There is noting like spending an hour in a pedi chair and having something take care of your feet. I just love going to get a pedicure. It is the ultimate luxury for me.

There is a little salon just down the street from me. All the women who work there are from Vietnam. One of the girls was obviously born from a Vietnamese mother and black American G. I. Another girl is a very petite and pretty Asian. They both speak English very well to your face, but when they talk to each other it is always in Vietnamese.

But the one who I like best is the older woman. She speaks not English, but she does the best job on shaping my toenails and painting them pink.
