diners and dives

There is this little itty bitty truck stop not too far from us that I have always wanted to try. I think we stopped years ago and it was smoky, so we went on our merry way. Since smoking is now outlawed in restaurants in these parts we gave it another try. Guess what? I thought it was totally cool. A real throw back...
It reminds me of a place we would go as a family when I was a kid on vacation in upstate New York.
Who could resist a sign like this? We had the egg special. Eggs over easy, homes fries, wheat toast and coffee. They give you so much food people leave with containers to go. All that for under $4. The homefries are especially yummy!
The walls are lined with local military heroes, a real tribute.
You don't see too many of these around anymore.

We enjoyed some Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash, Elvis and of course a little "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyryd Skynyrd.
It's called Jenny's and it's Rte. 30 in Lancaster.

what we've been up to...

Just really enjoying the simple things...
She wanted to make this "safari hat" out of carrot tops.
Hulling peas...
Lots of library...
tadpoles...
sightseeing in nearby places...
and lots of just enjoying the garden in full bloom...
You'll find me here...
and here for a little while every afternoon.
Trying to keep up with what is coming from the garden. We are eating lots of yummy roasted vegetables these days.
This week I made roasted zucchini, zucchini bread, zucchini cake, I was shredding and freezing zucchini, peas, pesto...
If you live nearby and want to pick up some zucchini give me a buzz.
