Wednesday &Thursday Oct 2014

Bob and I planned on going to the cemetery in Clifton on Wednesday, plus we had some other things to take care of,  like getting a new tire for the truck because he noticed we had a huge gash in one that was so deep you could see the steel cords (we apparently had run over something sharp, but we were lucky in that the tire had rolled to a stop where he could see the gash); getting  dog food for Charlie Dog; doing laundry; and picking up Bob's cell phone which he had left at the billiards hall in Dover on Tuesday afternoon.  We felt as though we had run around all day without really doing anything.  Driving around on Rte 23 and 46 from Milton to Clifton and back again is almost a full time job!  However, on Thursday, we planned an outing with our friends Plish and John, who drove up from Bloomfield.  We used to love to go to the Blue Ribbon restaurant on Rte 206 at Culvers Lake, but it had closed down, so Plish suggested we go to Milford, PA, about a half hour further from Culvers Lake.  The game plan was to have lunch and visit Grey Towers, and maybe one of the falls up in that area.

Since Plish thought a good choice would be the Water Wheel Café, we stopped there first since it closed at 2.  Good choice since we got there in time for Bob to have a breakfast plate and the food scenery and service were  A+.  After, we stopped at a little re-sale store across the way, plus the "country store" above the restaurant, both of which had a variety of unique items.

And I guess it is.  Here is Bob getting into the spirit!

 

The country store had several game areas...this one was a track on which a wooden ball could roll down.
