Last day here, and a tasty lunch at Anna Mae's in Millbank.

           Foggy, warm and rainy this morning, by the time I am ready to head out off to the indoor walking track in New Hamburg. Couple miles done there and back here by 9:30.
          Just puttered around for a bit then into town and pick up Suzie's Dad, brother and SIL. Her Dad wanted to go to Anna Mae's in Millbank for his and our favorite meal there, Broasted chicken, and we really can't turn down an offer like that now can we? Oh they have lots of other great homemade meals there as well as amazing homemade pies, breads, cookies and desserts, all very reasonably priced I might add. Always a busy place, but arriving at 11:30 we only had a 15 minute wait. 
        They are undergoing renovations, looks like a big addition. There is never enough seating even with seats for 178 people. The best meal deal includes your meat, choice of potatoes, cole slaw or veggie of the day, fresh baked bun, beverage and dessert. Don't need all that food but a deal is a deal. They even have a gluten free menu as well.

work is in progress

lots of baked goodies

the homemade pies are amazing

         Our order was quickly taken and fresh hot food arrived in a timely manner all together. The service and food has never failed to be excellent. Of course we all choose the Broasted chicken, their specialty.

Suzie had Black Forest Trifle

I had a gluten free butter tart to help
compensate for the meal, lol

       On the way back just stopped to get a shot of the Fryfogel Inn  located between New Hamburg and Stratford. It was built in 1845 and was a place for weary travellers to stop for whiskey, beer and a nights rest.

      Back home Suzie cannot read or compute without help from Molly.

those are real Cat's eyes!

Milder weather the fishes are more lively

       The rain had let up but still mild and no sunshine. After that hefty lunch I needed another walkabout. So into Tavi and got couple more miles done, wandering the streets. One old fellow on his scooter asked me where I left my horse? LOL... Cowboy hat and jeans, a stranger in town.

       Did manage to snap a few more shots around town.

       Now the one below is an interesting fountain at the 5 point main intersection. Looks like a drinking fountain either for you or your horse and one at the bottom for your dog.
When you thirsty ya gotta drink. The Tavistock Pub has been closed for a Few years I believe. Nowadays there is a Tim Hortons across the way.

love this fountain

        We that's about it for our day. No supper, just snack on a few peanuts and a banana. Packing a lunch for our flight tomorrow and to bed early. We need to be up at 3:30 in the morning. The Stratford airporter is picking us up at 4:15 for a 6:35 am flight to Chicago. Then connect to Phoenix and another connection there to Yuma. And if all goes well (and I just know it will). Ray and Cindy will pick us up there at 3:35 pm.

         Yahoo, then we be back in our house. Enjoy the sunny southwest and slowly make our way back here to Ontario in the next month. This has been great here with family and friends helping us out, giving us accommodations and loaning us vehicles.  Suzie's Dad is feeling somewhat better, but the healing process of losing a loved one takes a long time.  

          Glad that you stopped by and hope you had a wonderful day as well.

           See y'all on the flip side.
