On Tuesday morning we went to the Rocking Horse Restaurant for breakfast. They have huge cinnamon rolls and Ted, Ginny and I had one for breakfast. We all brought home enough for breakfast the next day! On Wednesday Bill needed to go to Springfield to ship the pads he binds for dentists. We decided to have dinner at Lambert's! It is an interesting restaurant and on the "tourist bus schedule"! They serve rather large portions and in addition, they walk around with "extras" such as fried okra, black-eyed peas, fried green tomatoes and delicious rolls which they throw to you! There are rolls flying everywhere (better than fish)! You can also get some molasses to go with them! They have very large coffee cups and I spilled the just delivered cup in my lap! It was very hot. I only ended up with a small place that blistered, but I was a mess! As Ted always says, "he can't take me anywhere"! We then went to Sam's Club and I wandered around with coffee stained pants!
Thursday was Ginny's birthday. I wandered around her yard and picked a vase of flowers for her. She has lots of pretty wild and planted flowers in her yard. She decided she wanted to go to the Safari Animal Park. You drive through 250 acres and see lots of animals. It has seen better days but it was interesting to drive through. Note the picture of the deer on the top right. He's either old and lost his teeth or maybe got his jaw broken in a fight, poor thing! Some of the animals come right up to the window and try to get inside! Several really liked to chew on Bill's mirrors! The emus, zebras, deer and even long horned cows are pretty aggressive!
For her birthday dinner, Ginny chose Nakata's, a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant! Everything was delicious. Bill made pink squirrel drinks for Ginny and I when we got back to their house! It was a nice day. We took some pictures at Lamberts and Nakata's.
We left Missouri on Friday and are now in Litchfield, Illinois. We are in a membership campground and it is the strangest campground we've been in! The spaces are all different as far as whether they have electricity, water or sewer capabilities! We are in one spot with water and sewer but have to use the power at the space next to us, which means no one will take that space because they would have no power and it's like that all over! They lose about half of their spaces! We were driving around trying to figure it out when finally one of the other campers told us how it works (or I should say, doesn't work)! We are here to visit one of Ted's cousins (the brother of Gloria that we visit in Texas).
Making our way across the country..."Ain't Life Grand!"
