I know you probably had to eat out back then when working.

Haha, yeah those were busy times for me, I ate out a lot. Sometimes dinner at home with the family, but my daughter had just graduated from Shawnee and we all had our own schedules. I tapered off on restaurants after retiring and now I only eat out while travelling or visiting family. Like you said, it's just too expensive and the experience often isn't so great.

Have been a big user of take-out from Wawa and other local places though, even drive-thru McDonalds breakfast sometimes. But for the past few months, I've been making almost all my meals at home, maybe take-out two nights a week? Definitely cheaper, but it amounts to a lot of time out of your day when you include related things like cleanup and shopping.

We always visited McDonald’s when traveling to Vermont. Quick and easy. Two years ago we went again and everyone in the place walked out including us. They ignored everyone. So we went across the street to Taco Bell and enjoyed the breakfast much better. Now some of the Taco Bell’s stopped breakfast which includes the one we stop at. So this year we have to come up with something new. Our vacation take out story.

23 years ago today. I was 49 years old, in the plains when they were the plains, and after a fire. I loved that hat, corduroy and says Bull Durham on it.

Yes - that is it, I see the duck pond is still there too!

I just assumed my receipt was from Medford, since I went there pretty often back then. But it says Lamberti's Philadelphia. I worked in Philadelphia, but not quite remembering where Lamberti's was.

There was also a Lamberti's at the racetrack circle in Cherry Hill. I was there once in Dec 2000. They were a franchise, and each had their own personality.

A rare photo of my youngest daughter at Friendship Bogs 23 years ago today on 4/13/2002.

An outhouse hidden deep in the woods on private property. 4/13/2013. This outhouse was owned and most likely built by a man named Crowshaw who owned the Crowshaw nursery near Columbus. He also built the dam we stumbled on during the Retreat Preserve PBX Hike on 12/23/2012.

Guy, let's see how good your memory is. What trip is this.

There is no way I would have known when or where that was so I cheated. The date info is attached to the photo so I know it was 3/14/2009 which was West Plains Oswego.
