Mural, Mural on the Wall

Donna felt good enough to go out to eat lunch and grocery shop. Chick-Fil-A Sandwich combo meal for me and a Kiddie 4 Nugget meal combo for her. Because we had a coupon the Kiddie Meal was free.

After the shopping she was still feeling alright, but didn’t really want to go to Anderson as we had planned, so she asked me to cancel the room reservation. When I went to the Holiday Inn site to cancel, there was some red lettering at the bottom of the page warning me that even if I canceled I would not be getting my money back. Ooops, I guess when I made the reservation I selected a room with a low rate that was non-refundable. So we packed a change of clothes, our tooth brushes and got in the car. Of course we packed some Post Office maps too. We hit 4 towns on the way up, we will do the 4 in Anderson in the morning and will try and get 4 more on the way home tomorrow.

The mural above was on a building right next door to the Post Office in Donalds. Clever use of perspective. And the tree as utility hook-up is genius.

Right next door to our hotel in Anderson is a place called Buffalo’s Southwest Cafe, where we have eaten before, which was calling our name for dinner. We split the Navajo Chops (two 6oz pork chops topped with bourbon, roasted apples and brown sugar butter, served with loaded mashed potatoes and steamed veggies) and a large dinner salad. Water for her and iced tea for me.

It is unseasonably cold here this weekend, not news to most on the east coast, so the top will be up in the dozen or so photos in the Post Office Gallery that we take, but unlike those in the northeast there will not be any snow in the background.
