Oct 10th - Grocery Shopping

Yesterday Mom and I split wood for awhile in the morning. The wood pile keeps growing, but slowly.

We then went to Russellville, picked up Kelsey & Lydia and went to the Amish grocery store near Versailles, MO. The grocery is in the middle of nowhere, about 25 miles from our house. Every time that we have been there it has been busy. Give generations of family in the photos below. My Mom &  Lydia, Kathy, Doug & Kelsey.

 Five generations outside the grocery. I took Lydia out to the "barn" , where the workers keep there horses and buggies. There were two horses in the barn. Lydia was not impressed. I don't think she cared for the smell of horse manure.

 We had lunch at a restaurant just outside Versailles. I had an open face roast beef sandwich that would have rated a 10 had it been 5-10 degrees warmer. There had to be two cups of mashed potatoes on the plate, with gravy, and over a pound of roast beef on a slice of homemade bread. It was as good a "hot beef" sandwich as I have ever had at a restaurant.

On the way back we had to stop at another place to check out the lawn furniture. Doug and Lydia took some time to go swinging. The sun was bright enough that I'm not sure Lydia had the opportunity to get the feel of swinging. She was more concerned about the bright sun.

In the evening we went to Moose Brothers, in Russellville, for supper. It was good but it seems to me that they just raised the price of their tenderloin sandwiches and that the sandwich was smaller. Not the great deal it used to be, but still not bad.

I'm not sure what today will bring. Doug is still trying to figure out wiring. I think he will need some help with it. I still have several pieces of wood near the splitter that need to be split and stacked, and more to cut. (Doug needs a tool, got to go.)

Have a great day. May God bless you and yours.
