Butch's Troubles

Butch is golfing in a fine drizzle. It rained last Wednesday morning and so the seniors were unable to play. So here we are again and it rained most of the night and now there is a fine drizzle. He just teed off with his group on hole number 4. He has his rain gear on. It was beautiful yesterday and probably will be tomorrow. That is how it is with outdoor addictions. Accepting what is can be a challenge. I sound so sympathetic. Smileycons!
And now about our yesterday. Butch went with me on our morning walk and then later we went into town for lunch at Lickety Split. It is an ice cream shop that also sells meals. Light meals mostly. But Marsha did say that if you do not see what you want on the menu ask me and I probably can get it for you. We both had breakfast as they serve breakfast any time of the day. Butch had biscuits and gravy which he gave high praise. And I asked for one scrambled egg, one pancake and one sausage patty. At a restaurant in Jefferson Iowa (Uptown Cafe) they call that a one on one and it is a favorite of mine. Marsha was right she was able to do that for me. And it was very good, especially the pancake. The outside was real crispy like mom used to make.
We then went to Alpena on a fact finding mission and grocery shopping. First we went to the Alpena visitors center and picked up info about local attractions but especially about bike trails. I had looked on the Internet but I wanted in-hand maps and it was the best place to get them.
Then we came back to the RV park at Thunder Bay Resort, a top notch park by the way, and out current home.
