Before we get to the birthday bash, I should mention that while the rally was over, there were a number of us still at the park. On Sunday, we went to the Loco Coyote Bar and Grill for lunch. We went there a few years ago and Olivia's son was in the area and treated us all to a round. Needless to say, he wasn't anywhere around and couldn't be persuaded to drive a couple hundred miles to do the say. But we had fun and a great lunch anyway.
We had a great waiter who was smart enough and benefitted greatly by removing the 15% restaurant automatically added tip to tables of 6 or more from the bill. Most of us just don't like to be told what to do.
Monday rolled around and Emma's birthday came up. She disappeared on Sunday to spend the day with her family but was due back on Monday. Franki debated Lunch or dinner and where. Emma got back after lunch so dinner it was going to be. Then the choice of venue came up. Several women were enlisted to find a location. Monday in a small town makes it really hard. Franki chose Babe's Chicken House in nearby Granbury. Granbury is bigger with more choices and only about 20 miles away.
Babe's is a little different from some restaurant's. Each person decides if they want, fried chicken, smoked chicken, catfish, or chicken fried steak which is served on platters with quantities based on how many ordered each item. Then the rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy, creamed corn, and green beans are served family style. I think the chicken is the best deal as you get a breast, thigh, and leg. You can take home any meat you ordered but not the sides as they just keep bringing them as they get eaten.
The food was all good. Those who ordered chicken took home a bag of it because it was more than they could eat.
Franki was prepared with a crown and a sash for the birthday queen.
The restaurant co-operated by holding the cake Franki bought in the kitchen and bringing it out along with plates and forks.
They did, however, insist on the restaurant birthday hat, lol
I think Emma enjoyed her birthday, I know the rest of us did. Emma and Franki's son and daughter are married and the two Mother's travel together full-time in a 42' motorhome.
Tomorrow it's pack up and go home until next time.
