No true supper yesterday, but we went up to the other half's in Detroit Lakes Sat. and they had a 60 year anniversary celebration.
Very, very enjoyable time as I was at a table with persons I rarely talk to and it was a gabfest.
Sadly her Brother in Law , does not have good odds to make it to much farther with prostrate cancer that turned into a a myriad of other medical snafus.
But of the dozens of trips up North this was probably one of he best.
Food -- good potato salad, and funeral ham or turkey sandwhiches; lots of cake but I am not a big cake eater any more.
We went to Dakota Majic casino in Hackinson, Nd the next day but one of her nieces , who house we stayed at made an EXCELLENT breakfast with bacon, cheesy hashbrowns and ham quiche.
For Supper --I found a Chinese Buffet in Wapheton, Nd; food was OK but it was small town restaurant on a Sunday Evening, so the chef only put out as much as they thought they could sell, which makes sense.
It was OK, but the croutons, cheese and beef, were 98.6 percent shell.
Small town Sunday, takes me back to my youth in a pleasant way but seeing barely any traffic and stores closed is an odd Deja Vu nowadays compared to even 35 years ago.
Next morning we ate at a regional chain Fry Pan for breakfast, good food and what would be called low-average prices in todays market.
I took the cross country route from Detroit Lakes US 10 to Wapheton; which took me through MN lake country, reminding me of family trips 60 years ago, especially when we went through a SMALL town of a little over 300 people, VERGAS, Mn, literally in the boonies, that was still Healthy and Vibrant probably because it was in the middle of Resort and Lakes area.
Sweet when you can only go a short distance before you are viewing another beautiful North West Mn lake.
Came home on i-94 rather than scenic Mn 210 which boosted my dislike for the Interstate system.
Before the freeway, seeing some of he farm equiptment dealers in that area, where most equiptment
was the maximum tractors and combines, had I been by myself I would have stopped and taken a look, and probably a few pictures.
For once it was not a family, hers, meeting due to a funeral, but the fact the next time I see Ed, it may be at his funeral. :'(
