HI Nancy,

 RH> Since our Life Group meets right after church, we include lunch as
 RH> part of the meeting. A few times when we've not had LG, we've gone to
 RH> the local cafeteria for lunch. They do it buffet style on Sundays to
 RH> speed up the line; on Easter it can be backed up quite far. The serving
 RH> line is on the opposite side of the room from the entry doors and
 RH> people are usually backed up to the doors and beyond. But, it's good
 RH> food, Southern style home cooking and if you go away hungry, it's your
 RH> own fault. (G)

 NB> Sounds like a good place.  :)   Some of the places we go to on a
 NB> Sunday seem to get more of a Sunday after church crowd than others...

It seems like this is THE place to go in WF for Sunday dinner. (G) Our
pastor's wife's parents like it so much that one time when her mom came
up, they had to go. A couple of days later, her dad came up and they
went again. (G)

 NB> Some of
 NB> them tend to arrive about when we are halfway or more through our
 NB> meal, so obviously their services are even longer than ours...  ;)

Or a later starting time. We start at 10:45, finish somewhat around
noon, give or take, usually on the later side instead of the earlier.
But, unless there's something extra going on like a business meeting,
we're done by 12:30.

 RH> Sometimes stopping for a quick meal somewhere is much better use of
 RH> time than trying to go home and put a meal together.

 NB> Quite...  :)

In AZ a lot of times we'd get home from church around one-ish and I'd
have to be back down by 3 for meetings. The crock pot was handy for
having a meal ready then.


 NB>  NB>> No, some things did change permanently... that was when Fort
 NB> Drum  NB>> reduced the number of their active gates and cracked down
 NB> on
 NB>  NB>> civilians cutting through the fort, at least the main section...
 NB>  NB>> regular traffic...  One road that used to be open into the fort
 NB>  NB>> now is one of the main gates....

 RH> We've never been to Fort Drum. We didn't want to get stationed there
 RH> (for several reasons) and it's not in our path of travel between
 RH> western NY and the Catskills. One of these days we may get up to the
 RH> area and check it out. Maybe if there's another picnic at the pond and
 RH> we can get to it?

 NB> It's the one I know best, from having driven by it for so long...
 NB> starting when it was still only Camp Drum...  :)  If you do come up to

I used to know it as Camp Drum too. Years ago, watching a NY Mets game
on tv, one of the broadcasters said something about one of the players
doing his annual reserve duty at "Camp Drunk; I mean Drum". Wonder how
close to accurate his slip of the tongue was. (G)

 NB> another picnic on the Pond, you'll most likely drive right by the
 NB> Drum...  :)  All the normal routes at least skirt it in some
 NB> fashion... and as I mentioned, 3A (the thru route for route 3 past
 NB> Carthage)
 NB> actually crosses part of it..  :)

And we can go in to shop at the PX & commissary if we want/need to.

Catch you later,
