Elmer and I have never gone on an actual vacation! Oh, we have taken a weekend road trip or the many camping trips but to actually go somewhere for more than a few days, nope just didn't happen. Finally, last year, we decided to go for our 40th anniversary. We made reservations to stay at a Treehouse Inn, something I had been wanting to do forever. We made plans, bought new luggage, a few new clothes; then disaster. Elmer had, had a hip replacement and now he had an infection. The day we were supposed to be leaving he was in surgery. I called the Treehouse and told them the story. Despite the policy of no late rescheduling they agreed to let us do it. So today we finally left. We saw lots of beautiful trees And rocks on the way.
Our reservations aren't actually until tomorrow so we took the long way and headed to Sikeston MO first. We ate at Lamberts the home of the thrown roll. The food was delicious, very much comfort food. The cucumbers and onions were so good along with the fried okra which was served on the napkin.
The tableware was definitely unique!
We decided to get a room here in Sikeston, then head out tomorrow and slowly wend our way to the Treehouse. These Roses were at the hotel and smelled so good!
Some anecdotes and thoughts from today:We overheard a young boy loudly complaining to his dad about an argument and name calling that had happened. The dad asked, "What was the benefit of arguing? Was there a benefit from arguing?"
The boy replied, "The benefit was in being right!"
We didn't hear the rest because we both started laughing and they moved away.
Summer is the season of revealing skin that shouldn't necessarily be revealed.
Just because a dress is stretchy doesn't mean that you should wear one that is 4 sizes too small
