I bought this bird for David in Warrenton. And he seemed to be pretty tickled with it! I feared that the bird, Lucky, wouldn't travel so well, so David got this present a couple days early.
We then made the drive to Eureka Springs. We stayed in The Beaver Lake Cottages. From the beautiful views of the lake and mountains, to the hummingbird feeder inviting the hummingbirds, to the fine linens, to the live plants in the cottage, we were spoiled rotten for the 4 days we were there. I highly recommend this place!
It rained most of the time we were there, and it was chilly. So, the fireplace was a nice comfort.
More gifts for David. This one was a package put together by my sister.
Sunday, David's birthday, we took a roadtrip to Ozark, Missouri and ate lunch at Lambert's, Home of Throwed Rolls. What an experience! By this time, I should mention, David and I were both suffering the symptoms of colds. I had congestion, sore throat, coughs, sneezes, fatigue. David was feeling run down. Lambert's picked us both up. Lively music. Neat atmosphere. Great home cookin'. This guy's job is to throw rolls. What a hoot!
David's meal came in a skillet. 
When I mentioned to our waitress that it was David's birthday, we got $10 off the meal! Wow! He was also given a cinnamon roll with balloons and I couldn't resist taking his picture next to this t-shirt "Hot Buns". 
We then headed over to Leola's, within walking distance. Do you know Jan? She is a sweetheart! I love family, and the fact that this business is founded by 3 sisters and a niece appeals to me. Wanna see some wonderful pictures of the store? Well, you know that David took a lot! I've been known to steal his pictures for my blog. So, he was sure to post up a blog before I could snatch them up! Check it out.
When we got back to the cabin, in my hoarse, sick voice, I sang Happy Birthday and David got to make a wish. 
Happy Birthday, love. My wish is for us to share many more celebrations together!Happy Tuesday!

I'm glad y'all had a good time, but so sad you were both feeling poorly. Good excuse for a cozy fire though...could David have gotten sick from wearing only one sock? LOL The restaurant looked fun big time. Debbie
ReplyDeleteGlad you kids had a great time and are recovering from your colds. What a nice getaway.
ReplyDeleteTake care, and David hope your birthday was spectacular!!
I didn't realize until just now that you caught me with one sock on and one sock off! I guess when you ask me to light your fire, I don't waste any time! ;-) lol
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful weekend! I love you!
Glad you guys had a good trip! I wish I was at Lambert's right now! Did you have to stand in line long? It is always packed full...and for good reason. Did you have the molasses? That is the thickest molasses I have ever seen! Lawd! Welcome back to the heat!

Hi Mindy, wow what a great weekend I hear that Lambert's has really good food.
ReplyDeleteHappy BDay David!
Thank you again Mindy for all your help with Bella's fundraiser.
xoxo trailer trash
Debbie, that one sock thing cracks me up, too. I guess he was doing something when I asked him to light the fire? haha
ReplyDeleteMalisa, the wait was about 1 hour. We did not try the molasses. But, we certainly thank you for pointing us in this direction! We thought of you a lot, as we followed your recommendations.

Fun trip ! Great memory maker. It's so funny the things we notice - I caught the one sock , too. From what I read on the blogs I think its raining all over the USA! Sue
ReplyDeleteThe other sock is in my left hand. I don't remember if I was in the middle of taking them off or putting them on when Mindy asked me to light the fire. I hope my bowhunting buddies don't see this! lol
ReplyDeleteOk. For the record. We had both searched for a switch somewhere for the gas. The pilot was lit. I had walked out of the room when the man felt the challenge to "make fire". There was no "drop everything and build me a fire"...I assure you! He was, most likely, trying to surprise me when I came back in the room. And he did! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh... you know what? Now that you said that, I think I may have actually been turning the fire OFF. Remember when we called the Horizon restaurant and found out they closed at 8:30pm? We had ten minutes to get there and I think I may have been hurrying to get my shoes and socks back on and then thought I'd better turn off the fire while I was thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteThat's my story and I'm stickin' to it! ;-)
Holy cow. I think you are correct! We had been shedding and relaxing when we found out we had 10 minutes to get to food. Fire be damned. We needed food! People. The Horizon on Mundell. Yummy Italian food, cozy atmosphere, great service. Go see em! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteOMG, what a wonderful place, sorry you were sick, but it looks like you had a great time anyway!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I noticed the missing sock too. So glad you guys had such a great time. Hope your feeling better. I've heard of a roll throwing restaurant. I wonder if that's the one. How many can there be?
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun.

What a beautiful place to celebrate but what I really want to know, is did you give him a second sock for his birthday?
ReplyDeleteThrow me a roll! Sounds like you had a very nice weekend despite the rain. Gotta love fireplaces! Happy junking. jojo
ReplyDelete"Shedding and relaxing"? Girl, that is what we are really asking with the missing sock questions! Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge! Plead the 5th! Debbie
ReplyDeleteI love that part of the country. The bird is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove the t-shirt! :)
