My plate is not only full, but overflowing!
Friday at the high school, my grandson's ROTC Unit staged a full blown 'We Appreciete Our Veterans' Day - school band, choral presentations, silent drill with arms team performance, guest speaker.
Very well done.
Saturday was The Marine Corps Birthday celebrated on FR, of course,
and Sunday my church had a really beautiful service for us.
Afterward we were given a lovely dinner.
Today? Here's where I get mushy - Tonkin, here are all kinds of ((hugs)) and smooches for you telling us about the free buffet for Veterans and Active Military at Golden Corrals across the country!
We had to travel 35 miles to the nearest one, but it was top notch.
The line was long and continued that way, but moved rapidly.
They did NOT stint nor restrict anything, having sirloin steaks grilled right there over a fire, and every other kind of meat - pork chops, chicken-fried steak, meat loaf, fried chicken, pot roast, spaghetti, fish, barbecue, etc.
Numerous vegetables, including real mashed potatoes and my favorite - fried okra! - soup and salad bar, fruits and desserts, and fresh from the oven yeast rolls were there, too.
The wait staff was great, everyone expressing appreciation and saying it was their privilege to wait on us.
MAJOR points are acorded the chain for this blockbuster effort.
It truly was fantastic.
Thank you again, Tonkin, for guiding me to the meal and the great company!
