Day 3 of vacation

Sunday day 3 of vacation was an interesting one. After leaving the Blacksmith Shop on Saturday night four of us decided to try and find a grocery store. We didn't have any luck with that. Seems they close them down VERY early. That left a bit of an issue for Sunday morning breakfast. We decided we would try and find either a place to eat or a grocery store to purchase food. After driving around the little town of 1000-ish give or take a 100 we opted to stop at Janelle's Main Dish. It was the little town cafe. We sat down and the little high school girl came over to wait on us. To our surprise they had a menu that had some very interesting items on it. Wanting to try something different I ordered a reuben omelet! Yup, an omelet with corn beef, sauerkraut, cheese and a little salad dressing. IT WAS AWESOME! Let us just say that all of us had juice and or coffee and a big breakfast and the total bill was around $45 for ALL of us to eat a huge meal. The service was great also which was surprising since our waitress was all of maybe 16-17. Our waitress also gave us directions to the grocery store...yeah! The grocery store was actually very nice for the size of the town. We loaded up and headed out and found a gravel road (dau road) that we ventured down. The road had a tree canopy and was really pretty. Once back at the cabin Dawn and Kono (Nanci) started making chili for supper. We thought this sounded good since it was in the 50s. They stuck it in the oven to bake through the afternoon and then we just sat around sampling a few of our beer purchase sitting in the screen porch.

Redneck glass koozies (socks)


Mixing the Leines and hanging on to a chilled beer mug was kind of

COLD so Mackie and I put on golf gloves to hold our beer mugs.

It was fun and lots of laughter was had. Dawn and Christi got Kris some gag gifts for her birthday. OH MY GOD! They were all gifts to use as you get older like, magnifying glass, sunglasses that go over your regular glasses. Then there was a box of some hair coloring stuff. Not for the top of you head but for what they say....."The hair down there!" It is made by Fun Betty and they had heard about it from their hair dresser. She had found it and thought it would be a great gag gift. It is a very funny gift and I can not believe they sell this stuff. We opened it up and looked at it. Again...OMG! The applicator looked like a mascara applicator. Way to funny! And no, no one sampled enough beers to try Fun Betty out! What color did they buy you ask? HOT PINK!




We had our great chili supper, watched baseball and then played Mexican Train dominoes. This is a game that can take hours if you play the whole sets. It is a LOT of fun to play.

Everyone hit their beds shortly there after...
