Yesterday was busy all day long. Joy called me three or four times and each time I was in the middle of something and told her I would call her back when I got a chance. Sadly, I didn’t slow to down until she had already left for a party.
Our day started with an early lunch. We decided to surprise Mama with a lunch from one of her favorite places in town.
You can pretty much guess what they serve here. Chicken fried steak seems to be what they are well known for. They also have a mean pie case.
The pictures don’t really show how crazy big those strawberries are in that pie. They also sell them whole, along with chocolate, coconut and banana pudding. My daughter like it because they have Blue Bell Ice Cream.
In each booth you have a bottle of honey to pour over fresh, hot rolls or cornbread they bring to your table before your food ever arrives. The bread basket is always in plentiful supply. We took our order to go so we didn’t have access to honey.
We headed over to the rehab place where our mom is getting better each day. Thankfully, she got the right doctor in charge of her care. She does want it clarified that her rehab is not a drug/alcohol rehab and her therapy is exercising, not talking. Really, couldn’t everyone use a little talking therapy?
Little Boo got a chicken fried steak dinner. It was huge and her only complaint? “The potatoes had bumps in them.” Shhhh…. don’t tell her that mine don’t have bumps because they come from a package.
Mother and I shared a salmon croquette dinner. I despise cooking these so I always get this when I go to Dixie Diner. Two patties come with a meal so there was plenty to share. Soon, Mama’s lunch arrived from the rehab cafeteria. She said that some days, it is really good.
This day, not so much. 
She said that the meat, “looked like a science experiment gone wrong.” Oh well. At least she had snacks for later.
Boo is like her dad. They both fall asleep after a big meal. Chicken fried steak is like an ambien to them. She crawled in the empty bed and took a little nap before we headed out shopping.
I never can find anything at Old Navy, so we made a quick trip the mall, and then home. Later tonight I’ll add part two of our Halloween adventures.
