Work, work, work, and ....

Us inside the restaurant! standing in front of the old vault!

We have pretty much been going non stop the last couple of weeks, with cultural investigations (in our live practicum that is going on), papers, etc.
So after much work, and more work, my wonderful husband took me out for dinner!
We went to a local Chinese restaurant that was established around the 1930's. It use to be an old bank, then there was a fire, and then it was turned into a Chinese restaurant, called Young's Garden. The old vault from the bank is still in there and used as a storage room. The tables and benches are still the original ones that were put in. We stared off our meal with delicious egg rolls. We then had Szechuan Style Beef, which was brought out ona a sizzling skillet! And a huge plate of chicken fried rice. The food was very, very, good. And since we hadn't really had any good chinese food in the last year and a half it was a nice treat.
Our Room!We had sparkling juice waiting for us along with many other wonderful goodies to eat!

We then went to a bed and breakfast that one of the couples her on staff own and run. One of their ministries is allowing students and staff to come out for a night. It was our first time staying and a B&B! We absolutly loved it. It was so relaxing. On arrival we were served rhubarb and peach crisp with ice cream. It was very good.


WE had the whole downstairs to ourselves. Our friend Melissa kept Arika. It was so nice to not have our daughter to put to bed or get up in the morning. We love her and missed her, but enjoyed our time.


In the morning the table was filled with delicous food. Fresh fruit, homemade granola, banana muffins, sourcream coffeecake, and them we were given 3 buckwheat pancakes, sausage patties, and eggs! VERY,VERY GOOD. We thank STEVE and Mary for their wonderful hospitality. We had a very nice visit with them after breakfast. Thanks so much.
If any of you want a great opportunity to get away, I know it is far for most of you.
It is called, Country Road Bed and Breakfast. It is open on the weeknds. If you are interested let us know and we'll get you some info.
Also a wonderful thanks to my husband who put the weekend together. Thank you! I love you SO much!
