Fun food at beaches to peaches
We stayed in a hotel for this trip, so food choices are not the same as when we travel in our R.V. The first night, we ate T.V. dinners that cost 99 cents each. The good news was, it was cheap and only 240 calories. That is about all you can say about that. The next night, we invited three friends to eat with us. Mark fried chicken out side and I cooked baked beans and potatoes and bread and we ate in the hotel breakfast nook. We sat and talked until bed time. The third night one of our friends treated us to a nice Chinese Restaurant where we split a meal. Our last night, we were very tired and did not want to cook. Some one had come by and told us about Sister's Kountry Kitchen. The food was good and entertainment was great. Once a month, they have a local band come in to play and it is the place to be in Hazelhurst. The band had an Asian lady on base, a young boy in a Georgia bulldog cap, singing and playing guitar, a quiet man on key board, a man that stuttered as lead singer, that played guitar, zax, and banjo and a senior that was strumming a washboard. A lady from the dinner table stood up a sang. It was kind of like karaoke with a life band. She sang soft rock and Patsy Cline and got a standing ovation. Then there was country songs and local humor about the lead singer being a stuttering bible salesman. Then a serious story about the senior man's cancer. On his last day of treatment, he went to the center with fake hair and sang "walk around me Jesus" for a lady dying to put a smile on her face. He sang it for us using a wooden puppet than dances on a board with the music. Then he told us to tell others about Jesus. He said that in one generation the message could be gone. They then broke out in barber shop quartet gospel and rocky mountain music. By now every one is clapping hands and singing and laughing. I begin to fill like I am at a revival meeting instead of a restaurant eating a buffet meal. When we finally left a another man from the group got up and was singing Garth Brooks, and some one was requesting the pretty lady to get back and sing. It was worth the price of admission. a nine dollar, all you can eat buffet in small town America.
