Just wanted to say hi Polly! Love Cracker Barrel! We have two here.(one to the North and one to the South). Both are close driving distances. I don't go too often but when I do, I'm just like you....too full! Their food is delicious for sure! And you can have breakfast anytime you want!

Botany In Action
 
  This morning I found you before the rain,
Before a shower, before makeup and hairspray,
Before you made your breath like mint,
Before morning prayer, soap, earrings, and perfume,
Before hot water, breakfast and a cigarette, when
You were six brown leaves dancing in the wind

This morning I found you before the phone rang,
Before the first bill was paid, before your impatiens woke to thirst,
Before you cleaned rough white crystals of sleep from the corner of your eye,
Before you took any medicine, before you looked in any mirror,
Before your life began to need you, when
You were smooth stones at the bottom of a cold, fast-moving stream

This morning I found you before you touched the powdered wing of your own early beauty
Your hair a million unmapped directions, a survey of the wildness of sleep,
Your body rising, falling with your breath, before you dressed in different rhythm.
This morning I found you when you were botany in action,
Partly bud and partly bloom, scarlet flower drinking air and light.

I know it! but it’s like me hanging out at a “tea parlor” L0L

Not that there is anything wrong with tea.

For all the relaxed time we had up there, I never hardly thought of taking composed pictures

Ah jaycee, what a sweet mouse!!

So the breakfasts....are they good at CB ???
I had the Chicken and Dumplings tonight. Hubby had catfish as always. I can’t say that the Chicken and Dumplings were as good as the fried chicken I had the last time I was here...

Sure was a treat though! Just finished a good swim and about ready to call it a day!
