A bit of sunshine, an excellent lunch out and afternoon by the pool.

Where are we today ?

      Milder a bit last night did not go below freezing and as usually we comfy cozy. As the sun was rising I did a nice walkabout the park all around the back area and around the one lake to the small beach area that would quite nice in the summer.

back there the staff was burning some brush
nice sunrise across the lake from the beach
a nice sandy beach area that will be cleaned up when the weather clears
parking lot by the beach
           Today we had planned going for lunch so we went to the Lucky Steer Restaurant  just over the interstate in Wapakoneta. a Family owned restaurant for over 30 years. We had read good reviews , plus they have fish and broasted chicken, both meals that we enjoy. Not sure which we want. So when we go out to eat we like to go for lunches sure glad we went. Got there at 11 am and after a 5 minute wait we were seated. Our friendly waitress Chastity, was very efficient, she informed us the Friday special is all you can eat fish and chicken, plus one side and the salad bar for $9.49 each. Yes we wanted to try both and this sure did the trick. We went right away to the salad bar, very nice salads and fresh. Could have had a nice meal right there alone.
this be the place right across from McDonalds
probably 30 tables and mostly they were full
all the time we were there
      By the time we finished our salads our meals came 2 large pieces of chicken and 2 nice, lightly breaded cod fish fillets, fries and a fresh baked biscuit for me. All cooked to order, hot and fresh. Suzie had a bun instead of the biscuit.
build you our salad bar was excellent
ok now this is a feast
              Now we can have more of anything for the same price, but I just barely managed to finish what I had, and Suzie took home a large chicken breast, fries and 1/2 her bun. Because it was all you can eat our waitress could not give us a take out box but brought a handful of napkins so we could wrap it up and take home. Next time we will take a plastic bag. Sure glad we got there at 11 am because 10 minutes later a long lineup at the door and a steady stream of people coming and going. This sure is one busy place, Excellent food,  great service and very reasonable, this feast for the 2 of us under $19.00 , we will keep this place in mind for another time, wish we would have discovered it before.
can you guys likes Ohio State?
yes a Buckeye
          Back home to putter around a bit then I took another walkabout around the park and by the clubhouse, looks like no one in the pool! Yahoo, I whipped back home got changed.
          Grabbed Suzie and we were at the pool before 1:30pm. Now only 2 adults and one child, not bad. I had a quick shower and today I went into the pool first for a few lengths then a soak in the hot tub, very nice. Smarter than yesterday I went into the hot tub first but then the pool felt too cold.
that's me, deep end 5 feet deep
me again doing the back stroke
          Now I can sit by the pool with Suzie while we enjoyed our e-readers in this very tropical like weather by a pool with nice views all around. Slowly a few more people came to enjoy the pool. But I was done in there anyway, finally at 3 pm we headed back home as a few more people arrived, time to get out of here anyway.
Amazing where the afternoon went enjoying our time by the pool
     Now the rest of the day more reading, some research and a couple of colder walkabouts bundled up as the temperature dropped, it was 56F (13C), now 42F at 5pm with a very cold wind and supposed to go to 26F (-3C) overnight, so disconnect our water hose again.
     No supper tonight needed after that awesome feast at lunch, so we can watch a movie and share a bowl of popcorn and an apple, that is more than enough food for today.
    Thanks for dropping in and hope you had a nice day as well. We are spoiled with this pool right across from us and the wonderful environment. Still nicer here than back home only a days drive from here. Missing the warm sunny weather we had in the southwest, another month our so back home it will be much nicer again. Plus we get to see our families again.

  9. Creamed chipped beef??? I've never heard of that being served anywhere. It was a staple for us on our pack trips into the mountains with the cattle. Chipped beef came in a little glass jar that became our juice glasses. I loved it!!
    I'd be in the hot tub .... nice of the other campers to stay away!!
