Who knew that one day could produce so many posts? I know I dragged this out a bit but I didn't want to put all the pictures in one post. Plus I needed blog material so it worked well for me.
Once back in Pennsylvania, Amanda and I were both hungry so our first stop was lunch. We went to Cracker Barrel. I got the honey butter chicken with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. It was so delicious. I couldn't help digging in before I remembered to take the picture.
No trip with Amanda is ever complete without stopping at Hobby Lobby
There's nothing like retail therapy to brighten a day, especially a birthday!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had the perfect day! That fried chicken does look delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have things in hand for blogging. Your trip was fun and fruitful.
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love to jump on the fun van with you and Amanda.
ReplyDeleteThe chicken looks amazing. BOL BOL fluent in fowl languages

I liked how you included the little moments, like the funny gift shop finds, it makes the post feel personal and relatable. Stopping at Hobby Lobby and Michaels shows your day had a mix of fun and practical treats, which readers can appreciate. Sharing what you bought for your desk will be a nice follow-up that keeps the story connected.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, that sounds like a perfect birthday... warmest congratulations from me.

What a great birthday you had and that lunch looks fabulous. Wow. Now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
Happy Retail Birthday Therapy!

I need the cup for Bob. he has gotten worse with the dementia
ReplyDeleteCracker Barrel looks yummy. I haven't been to a Hobby Lobby in a long time. Sounds like a nice day.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you will be showing your Hobby Lobby loot; you know how I love them. Did you buy anything at Michael's? The chicken does not look good, but it was? I may try it sometime.
ReplyDeleteA great day out!! Food looks delicious.
ReplyDeletewe LOVE cracker barrel...i knew it was cracker barrel just by the pictures. we always get the bone in fried chicken with coleslaw too. i use to get the mashed potatoes also, but they were never hot so i switched to the steak fries!! i LOVE the gift shop too, i have gotten quite a few shirts there and i alway get compliments on them!! i also LOVE hobby lobby but it is too tempting to go in there!!
ReplyDeleteHappy retail Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁
ReplyDeleteThe food looks tasty, Ann. Here in Montreal we have Michael's but I don't like the store. Perhaps it's because I don't purchase crafts...I don't have the talent.
As far as their tshirts go, I don't find them attractive and the quality is lacking.
I have purchased tshirts at Dollarama for $5 and the quality is good, 100 percent cotton.
Ann, the container with fluent in fowl language made me laugh 😃 so hard.
Yum, that cup is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!!! 🎂
I love that "Fluent in fowl language." That's so clever. 😊
ReplyDeleteYour chicken looked delicious and laughed at the mug message. A very special birthday with Amanda.
ReplyDeleteI like Cracker Barrel too. And you two look like you like a lot of the same type of stores.
