Today we started late. We took off for the restaurant at the Ranch, yes it was closed because of the weather?? We stood there and a couple of women also had wanted to eat there. They said we eat at Mom’s Café in Justin, a little south of here do you want to go with us? We wanted to look at the area and said we would follow them. What a nice local place to eat, Lou and Adrian, first from Texas and the other from Long Island New York. The food was fabulous; Shirleen had a grilled cheese sandwich with tater tots and I a fresh chicken fried steak with fried okra, coleslaw and pea salad. The two gals ate a special fresh catfish fried in corn meal thin batter, wish I had ordered that, mine was delicious but there’s looked really good. We talked about why they liked Robson’s, it was the people and activities. Bridge, duplicate bridge and dog group. It was fun to talk with them, the first had a husband who worked for a company in Joliet IL and the other from New York and a teacher of high school adults. Had a great meal and conversation. The town can’t be more than 2,000 people and is the home of Justin cowboy boots.
We went back to the home, really nice pictures to follow. We drove around the complex and looked at different homes. We then went back to the home and went out walking. We walked for an hour or so and in that time the sunshine went to cloudy and cool; again the clothing I forgot was needed. The housing was nice to look at; the plantings were what made the house. We picked up many brochures for sale homes. They were more costly than the new ones bit they had plantings and some furnished.
After relaxing we got ready for the evening outing. We were to meet with a group of people who lived at the Ranch for awhile. We meet the hosts Darla and Fran who were really fun and had a lot of what we were. The host couple was from Montana and she from
She was employed as a high school counselor and he a math and IBM background. The other two were from Omaha; a couple Janel and Tom R. It was a fun evening talking about our lives, pretty open, daughters sons grandkids and life in general. The meals were a special menu; Shirleen and the ret had the Citrus Glazed Atlantic Salmon with Pomegranate Chutney, I the Surf (two grilled shrimp) and Turf (two beef medallions) with a Port Wine (Demi glace) over done or their medium. Food was well served and the accompanied cabernets were fine. The fun of the activity was to find out what people wanted for life’s end and how we wanted to accomplish by our retirements.
Before the host couple we met a couple from Kenosha, the lady had relatives from St. Peter small world. We also ran into a couple who came from Rochester and Albert Lea and for their 60th wedding anniversary they were headed for Hawaii Tuesday. They again seemed to be a great couple at 80.
Tomorrow we spend time with saleslady Pattie T.. Jerr
