On Saturday, we went with
Ken's dad and some friends
to a small town Rantoul,
Kansas--population slightly
under 200 people for dinner.
One of the gals that went with
us has family in the area and
they knew about the place we
went.
Next door to the Fire Dept.
was a cozy restaurant called
"The Soft Rock Cafe." The porch
had cute planters made from
repurposed items, potted plants
on little chairs and other cute
stuff sittng around the porch.
The cafe is a well known place
by the locals for a great buffet
dinner!
They were serving a catfish/
boiled shrimp and fried chicken
buffet. There was fried potatoes,
green beans, cabbage, baked beans,
cream gravy and two types of bread.
Then.....you could move on to the
salad bar part of the buffet! There
was tossed salad with fixings,
COLE SLAW according to Ken,
chocolate and vanilla pudding.
THEN...there was dessert!
Chocolate cake, chocolate
cherry cake AND brownies
to choose from. Oh, Yea was
it good!!!!!
Down the road from the cafe
was this "junkyard " for old
airplanes, I tried to get a pic of
the name but it came out blurry.
Bummer!!! Anyway--on both sides
of the road were these planes just
sitting there. According to Ken's
Dad, they take all the good parts
from the old planes and use them
on planes that are still in service.
In the pic above, off the the left in
the valley you could see alot of
parts and pieces of planes.
It was fun seeing all of the planes
just sitting in the farm fields hanging
out. A good way to use an old plane!
One never knows what is down the
road.
~Keep on Dreaming~
