March 5th - Big Daddy's

Wednesday
This morning was rainy and cool, low 40's. Rainy is to strong a word, it misted all morning. I know because I spent over an hour out walking in it (dumb?). Managed 4.42 miles this morning.

Later we walked over to the clubhouse and listened to the "jamb session". When we arrived there were already 6 people playing and/or singing. Two more showed up a little later. A guy told us they normally have as many as 19. The did mostly gospel and country songs. Just before we left one lady sang, she also played a guitar, "Get Your Kicks on Route 66". She was GOOD. A couple of the guys were also pretty good. One of the guys who we heard sing 3 times was BAD, but I guess he was trying. He butchered 3 Hank Williams songs. He got worse with each new song.

For lunch we went to Big Daddy's, on the Fish River. Kathy had read about it and one of the guys at the campground recommended it. The bill was $16.05, including tax. For that I got a half pound hamburger and an order of onion rings. Kathy got a shrimp basket and onion rings. I ordered my hamburger medium rare, it was closer to rare, but it was good, as were the onion rings. Kathy said her shrimp were excellent. The place is only a little over 4 miles from us. We will definitely go back there before we leave.

We did not eat outside, but several groups did. (By the time we arrived it was in the high 50's) In the background is a boathouse and the Fish River. Note the toys in the sand behind Kathy. There are two areas with large sand piles and toys. When we first arrived there were two kids out playing with these toys.

When we got back to the campground we sat out in the sun for a bit, walked around the campground a little more and basically just lounged around the rest of the afternoon.

This afternoon we got a call from our neighbor back in Centertown. He works at Lowe's. They had a bunch of 5 gallon pails of driveway sealer, normal price over $40/pail, that they marked down to $4/pail. Part of our driveway is asphalt so I had him buy us 15 pails of it. Andy picked it up for us this evening.

It is supposed to be 60 with thunderstorms the next two days, before warming up to the high 60's and low 70's. We can take a little rain with these great temperatures.

May God bless you and yours.
