Green Lake…

New State (or area of the state)

Breakfast with Richard and Marilyn, which was, amazing! Then onto a walk around Green Lake, which is so awesomely beautiful! The water is clear and the trees are lush. This is another example where the pictures will do more justice than any of my words.

Next we followed Marilyn, as she was going to show us and awesome shop. Just our luck, we missed the turn into the parking lot, so thinking we could just take the next one, we turned and discovered we were now on the highway. Oh bother! Lucky Tyler has Google maps so we pulled out the map and tried to re-route, the off ramp we were supposed to take was closed which means to get back to the shop took a little more a u-turn.

Finally we got to Wagman’s where it is impossible not to find at least 5 foods you love. There is the grocery section of the shop then there is seating where you can buy food from a salad bar of sort and dine in. I’m talking shrimp, mac and cheese, stir fry, strawberries, deep fried chicken, so many types of salad…and so much more! After gathering plenty of food, we settled down to eat before our journey to Columbus, Ohio.

By the way…Today happens to be ‘Women’s Day’ in South Africa, so I mentioned this to Tyler. He then told me he had put all the SA holidays into his calendar so he could wish me and read up about it, but this must have ‘fallen off his calendar’ cos he couldn’t find it anymore. Am I the only one that finds this phrase slightly funny?

Again at this stage it was nice to see some friendly faces ready to greet us and show us around. We had a great time taking a walk around the lake and sharing stories, the breakfast was absolutely amazing and I am still waiting to get a recipe on that! As for the shop that we went to I think Robyn explained it well, but that is a fat kids heaven, I was perfectly at home there.

So I am not sure where the phrase of something “falling off your calendar” came from, however I hear it a lot in the business world when discussing schedules. Apparently it isn’t something my girl friend is use to.
