Saturday Road Trip

P took an afternoon off and we went for a drive and dinner out for his birthday.  We decided to visit a large but remote shoe store that carries a large selection of all sorts & styles but we were specifically looking for new work boots for P.

The store was packed as we expected for a nearly spring Saturday afternoon.  But midst personal service, foot measuring, getting sizes from the warehouse, and help with fitting & lacing, we were done in 1/2 hour!

We continued to wander as we aimed for our intended supper spot, as behind the Cheddar Curtain the back roads are paved and not gravel.  We could enjoy a different route & view and keep on good roads.

He said the roller coaster ride would only cost me $5… I get car sick and it was rolling & curving & much more than I wanted that day.

Supper was good enough.  No waiting but we could order off the dinner menu even at 4:50 p.m.

For his birthday, of course I knew he’d want some dessert.  They had lots of options!  He was getting dessert to go, so a great choice of apple-something ala mode was off the list.  First choice = Oh, we are out of that.  Second choice = (yells to someone to ask) No, we are out of that.   The waitress listed 3 options.  He chose the Sawdust Pie — something local (?) but coconut, graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, in a pie like the goo of pecan pie.

He wasn’t impressed when he had it later at home.  I took a bite and as much as I love coconut and a good cheat, I didn’t really like it either.

P’s boots are just great.
The local baby swiss cheese is yummy!

I took my camera and since we weren’t in a hurry, I thought we’d stop at various scenic places for photos.  Much too car sick for any idea like that!  So besides photos of pretty scenes you have also missed the sign for County Road K,  the double signs for “such & such” Cemetery –>  and 30′ farther was a county sign “Dead End”, and the dizzying effect of being underneath the wind turbines.

I love my shoes — $29 + $2 pink shoelaces = fun!!
