A birthday lunch

 The Saturday before Amanda's birthday we went out to lunch and did some shopping. Lunch was at our usual place. Cracker Barrel. We got done eating and were getting ready to leave when I realized I hadn't taken a picture of our food. Amanda said here take a picture of both our take out boxes.




After we paid, we browsed in the gift shop for a little bit. Amanda liked this mug.
This towel speaks the truth
This swan was really pretty.
I only have a few more pictures from the day but I think I'll show those to you tomorrow.

What a wonderful place! I think I could happily sit there for hours with good company. It looks like you had a lovely time, judging by those smiles. And even if your husbands were far away, your thoughts were certainly with them the whole time, haha. Wishing you all the best. A few moments of laughter and a little adventure can truly help us breathe again.

Yum! We had a Cracker Barrel near our last house but it closed. I haven't seen one anywhere. We used to love it. Looks delicious. Cute mug. That towel is funny. Yes, the swan is pretty. Glad you had a nice celebration.

I love all the do-dads in their gift shop. A lot are so expensive but they are unique.
I like the mug too.
