Back To The 50's

Yesterday we decided to drive to New Philadelphia to a restaurant called Hot Rod Restaurant and Museum for lunch. Finding it was no easy task as our GPS didn't list it and the roads here are not marked well. We were successful though.

I had a really great cheeseburger with home made potato chips and Dean had lasagna which he said was great!

The restaurant is a step back in time to the 50's and how gas stations looked back then. It was filled with lots of memorabilia and several old "hot rods". I took pictures and will get them posted at Picasa soon.

Would we go there again? Probably not. It wasn't that it was bad food, it wasn't, just not someplace that left a "we must return again" feeling. No regrets for going though.

We found some country roads to return to Sugar Creek and then back to the highway to Walnut Creek. We wanted to stop at the Walnut Creek bulk food store again. Dean got some dried potato soup that he had last night and said it was really good. Me, I opted for some home made butter pecan custard - yummy!! Any wonder why I can't lose weight?

We also made a stop at the (correction) Walnut Creek flea market but were very disappointed. It was mostly the same junk you see at any flea market across the USA. Very little in the way of local crafts etc.

We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. There are now three horses in the field and of course, they came right up to the fence when we returned, looking for carrots. Yep, they got some!

Not sure what we are doing today. It has been raining since around 5am, though, the skies look like it may start to clear. We had talked about going to a horse auction this morning and I still haven't been to any shops in Berlin. Oh my, there is so much I still would like to do and now so little time left. Guess we will just have to plan a return to this area again.

What every you do today, have fun and stay safe - we sure will give it our best shot!
