Great Day Had By All!

Saturday was a wonderful day spent with family. In an earlier post you may have read that Sue had lined up a day out with her parents Molly and Harv.
Our day started with a trip to Nicollet to deposit our garbage into a truck that parks there every Saturday morning. Then it was on to breakfast a real quaint mom and pop cafe. You talk about good cooking....and large servings.
On the way into town we washed Sue's truck and filled it with gas before picking up her folks.
We hit the road shortly before 11:00 really looking forward to a day of adventure. We were not disappointed. We headed towards Owatonna, about 45 miles from Mankato. Our first stop there would be Noble RV. Very friendly staff and a HUGE selection.
All four of us fell in love with a 5th wheel that had everything. King bed, walk in closet,ceiling fans,fireplace, home theatre, stainless appliances, granite counter tops.......
Yup....roughing it at it's best!
I think we were rushing the season a bit...it was COLD looking at the rigs. The wind was very strong and biting.
Our next stop was a country craft type store that Harv and I did not enjoy at all. We lasted about ten minutes in there and found an excuse to go sit in the truck. We were perfectly content to sit and watch the snow slide off the steel roof of the store in huge sheets. I guess we are easily entertained!
By now it was time for lunch...after all we had not eaten for a few hours. We stopped at the Holiday Inn near Cabela's. A couple of years ago they had a Green Mill restaurant inside. It was gone now and replaced with something else. That was fine. The food was good and hot and the service just fine.
Now we were off to the outlet mall in Medford. You really have to watch the prices at those places. Some places had amazing prices and others were selling their wares at what seemed like higher prices than retail. Go figure!
We did our part to boost the economy and then decided to head towards home. By now I am sure the dogs were about ready to go out and we had just about enough shopping for one day. I really get a kick out of store names sometimes. One of my favs.......The Dress Barn. Now who came up with that ....and why?
Oh well, who am I to question?
We all had a great day. Sue's folks really enjoyed themselves and we enjoyed being with them as well.
Today's projects include laundry and sheet rocking. Maybe I will get some pictures. Of the sheet rocking, not the laundry.
Thanks for looking.
