Better This Time . . .
About 12:15 Jan and I drove up to Ellinger to have the regular lunch buffet at Peter’s BBQ. This was the first time we’ve done this one, since we usually do the one on Friday night with catfish.
I mentioned on our last visit that I was disappointed with the increase in price and the reduction in offerings. Last year the price was $8.95 and included BBQ as well as the catfish, but not now.
It’s now $10.95 and just catfish. And the drink is extra. And it’s plus tax. I think the total for the two of us is about $28.
But the weekday buffet is a real improvement. Today’s offerings were Hamburger Steak with onion in gravy, Fried Chic ken, and BBQ Brisket, as well as all the usual veggies and desserts. And the Hamburger Steak was really delicious.
Even better, the cost was only $10, and that included a drink and the tax too. So a total of $20.
A much better deal than the Friday night version. Nice.
Coming back to the rig, we stopped off at the park office to sign up for Saturday night’s Potluck. Jan’s going to be doing her delicious Sopapilla Cheesecake.
Since I was caught up on all my web stuff, later in the afternoon a nap sounded like a good idea. And when I got up we had company.
Lily, of the Tom and Lily Christian’s, had shown up to visit. We first met them when they were parked next to us here at Colorado River back in December 2014.
Turns out they’ve just come off an18 month long gate down in the Cotulla area, and are taking a break for a while before going back to it.
That’s Tom Christian on the left, then the shy one is his wife Lily, next is long-time friend’s Donna Huffer and Bob Parker, Jan, of course, and lastly, our new friends, Judy and Ken Bennett.
Hopefully we’ll be able to get together with them soon.
Tomorrow we’re making a trip down to Pearland to meet up with long-time friend Bonnie Horner and take her to lunch. Her husband Richard died recently, and though we saw her right after, we wanted a chance to get together again.
Thought for the Day:
Hardest Job Ever: Working in a bubble wrap factory. Think of the self control needed.
