Cafe-June 14, 2011

We drove into Maggie Valley today. It was pitiful. What businesses were not closed (out of business) were for sale. We could not guess what exactly caused that problem. So, we went back to Historic Waynesville. There were fewer people so we walked up and down and into as many stores as we could. Our favorite was Mast General Store. It was started in 1883. It had those old bare wooden floors that creaked when you walked on them. It was truly a step back in time and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We decided this evening to walk around the park. They have many activities. We stopped first to check out the menu on the Pride Cafe which is only open for breakfast. I'm sure it is the focal point of the day for some of the permanent residents here. Monday offers a stack of pancakes (2) $1.75. Tuesday has (2) biscuits and gravy $1.75. Weds. repeats Mon. However, Thursday caught our eyes, (2) biscuits and grave $1.75. Yes, it said GRAVE. We immediately decided to skip eating at the cafe. We played a game of putt-putt. It's free and you can play whenever or however you choose. Jerry beat me badly. Correction: I let him beat me! We tied the 18th hole, both of us had a hole in one. That's really true. It is supposed to storm tomorrow. If so, we'll stay in and do "housework". Hope you are all having a good week.
