Saturday March 8th.
Breakfast at Bob Evans -- good as usual.
Lunch at a Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel always sounds better than it actually turns out. Today was no exception. They had chicken dumplins [sic] on the menu. For some reason, dumplings appealed to me -- a traditional home-cooking kind of thing. They tasted like soggy flour. I ate them anyway. The corn muffins also appealed to me -- they were greasy and metallic-tasting. I ate one and left the other.
We turned in early at Effingham, Illinois. Yesterday, we didn't get into Fort Wayne until around 6:30 pm, and, by the time you get settled in, it's just too late.
Dinner at The Lone Star. The chili I ordered was so greasy I didn't eat it -- and the waitress didn't argue with me about it. We shared a steak sandwich and the biggest sweet potato we had ever seen.
In a stroke of luck (or is it planning genius?), we've arrived in Illinois just in time for the switch over to daylight savings time, so we're just leaving our watches the way they are, and tomorrow, they'll be correct!
We're at a Holiday Inn Select, so we're looking forward to the breakfast tomorrow.

Sorry you didn't like Cracker Barrel, it's a favorite of mine, southern cooking. It's a taste a lot of people don't have!!!

You brought memories of our travels around the USA over many years so I posted places and foods we like.
Our travels are mostly over. Oh, we will take short trips when necessary and when we are up to it but our across country days are over.
Thanks,
Betty G
