Catfish Charlie’s

We woke up to the sound of rain and chilly temps.  We are surrounded by water and we are parked in a lake!  Good thing we have a wooden porch to walk on.  I played lazy and we were slow getting moving and then Diane called and brunch was ready.  She had made steak, ham, eggs, toast and fruit for brunch.  It was great!  Thanks Diane.

Since it was still raining we canceled our site seeing plans for the day and Diane called their son and his wife (Benji and Annie) and the came over to play spades.  While we were waiting for them, Tommy took us on a tour.  We drove through lots of mud and didn’ t get stuck once. We got to see the cabins he helped build and the surrounding area.  He even took us to see their race track.  sorry no pictures as I didn’t have my phone or camera with me .. in fact none of us had our phones with us and it was good thing we didn’t get stuck!

We had fun playing and unfortunately the guys won 3 out of 4 games.  We went home later and let them rest a bit before going to a wake for a friend of theirs.  Then they came back and picked us up and we headed out to dinner at Catfish Charlie’s.

it’s like a fast food place, where you order, pay and find a seat

That is what I had left over!  Hubby enjoyed it as a bedtime snack .. we came back and played a couple games of Rook but it just wasn’t the women’s night .. the guys won both games and we called it a night around 9.30 pm.  I came home and showered and relaxing before calling it a night .. we didn’t let the rain spoil our time with great friends.
