Still Alive and Kickin

About a week ago during a walk around the campground and after hearing about a major flu epidemic in Alabama I was thinking it has been several years since I had the flu.  Even though I haven't had a flu shot for many years I have been lucky not to have gotten the flu for a long time.  I was feeling pretty good about that.  That was until last Monday.  I had the flu from Monday night until Friday.  Wasn't real bad as flu goes but I don't want it again so I will be getting a flu shot in a couple of weeks so I don't get it again.

I have another trivia question for all of you trivia buffs.  What does Sikeston, Missouri and Foley, Alabama have in common?  Give up?  Both cities are home to the restaurant with the "throwed rolls" Lambert's.  If you have never been to Lambert's and you are ever near Sikeston or Foley you should stop.  Everyone should experience Lambert's once in their life.  Janet and I and the boys stopped at the Missouri location many years ago while Janet and I stopped at the Foley Lambert's last weekend.  Lucky for me Janet was in the catching position this time since I would have hated to have gotten another big butter stain on the clean shirt I was wearing this past Saturday.  The food is very good and they throw huge yeast rolls across the restaurant to anyone who wants them.  They go through over 500,000 pounds of butter that is served with these rolls in a year's time.  Anyway it's a very fun place especially for kids and the food is also good so you can't go wrong.

Here are a few pictures taken during the past week.

 
 
My new lava lamp purchase.  This kind of takes me back to the 60's and 70's.  This picture is without the use of the flash bulb.





This is Huli with her "I'm good face and ready for the big leagues".  They threw her four rolls from clear across the room as far as you could get and she caught all four of them (we ate one each there and took one each home) just thought I should explain that we didn't eat them all there although we probably could have.  I should add that Huli caught all cleanly.  In Missouri I missed one and it hit my shirt where it left a butter spot about 6 inches in diameter on my chest that I not so proudly had to display for the rest of the day. I think Huli and the boys caught theirs cleanly.



She must have felt like I needed a shower...


This is the biggest chicken leg we had ever seen. 

Huli and I are both dieting or we would have ordered something a little more fattening. ha ha

There was a motorcycle club from New Orleans there while we were there.
