Early December 2016

Double Springs Fire Department hosted a pancake breakfast with Santa Claus the first weekend in December.  Gifts for the kids lined tables.  It was a very heartwarming time.   Unfortunately, the man responsible for making this event possible passed away recently and no one has as yet picked up the reins to keep this tradition going.

 

Double Springs is in the south west portion of Townville

Breakfast consisted of two pancakes, a sausage patty, oj and choice of coffee, hot cocoa or milk for $2.50.

Each child could pick any toy or his or her choice. None of the kids were rude or greedy.

It will be a shame if this event won't be continued.

 

After breakfast, Bob and I checked out a new indoor farmer's market near Double Springs.  Perhaps it was because it had just opened, or because there were so many other things going on around town, but there weren't many vendors and even fewer lookers.

 

That evening, Bob and I went back into old Anderson to celebrate the 31st anniversary of our meeting each other (which was actually December 4th).  It was a rainy evening, so we didn't walk around much.  We first went to Earle's Place, but we didn't like the bistro like décor and menu, so we went across the street to McGee's Irish Pub and Grill.  It wasn't very crowded, and had a nice warm atmosphere.  To our delight, caroler's came through and sang a few Christmas songs.
