Our original plan was to go north somewhere for dinner. We are always going to Georgetown or to Lexington. However, when we met back at the house, the light came on and we decided to go to a little place called Wallace Station. They are located on Hwy. 1681 between Midway and Versailles, Kentucky. This restaurant is owned by Chris and Ouita Michel. It is one of a group of restaurants with Chef Ouita. We have eaten at Holly Hill Inn in Midway, The Midway Bakery in Midway, and Windy Corner between Paris and Lexington, Kentucky. Every one of these places has been exceptionally good. We expected no less from Wallace Station. And it proved to be great!
I had the Valentine's Day special. It was grilled salmon on a salad. The dressing was a balsamic something or other. The neat things was the dried strawberries in the salad. The whole strawberry was dried and left at a chewy state. It was like eating a chewy candy. Yummy. Can't remember what Claude had but he also loved his meal. The great thing was we had plenty to eat but it didn't leave us stuffed and uncomfortable. We got dessert treats to take home.
Once home we picked out a movie and curled up to watch the movie and enjoy our dessert. It was just a delightful afternoon and evening and the perfect celebration of our 47 years of marriage. We marvel that it has been 47 years.
Tuesday was Valentine's Day. I usually don't get too busy with this holiday. The anniversary is the most important to me. This year I posted a Valentine's message on Facebook. I shared this picture and the message below.
Saturday, February 18th, Claude purchased tickets for us to see Ronnie Milsap at Eastern Kentucky University Center for the Arts in Richmond, Kentucky. In addition, there was an offer to have dinner at the Black Box Theater. We decided to try that also. So we arrived at the EKU Center for the Arts and gave them our tickets for dinner and for the Ronnie Milsap show. They pointed us in the direction we needed to go and we found our way around hallways and down stairs to the Black Box Theater. We were assigned to sit at Table 1 and had four other people already there. They were fun table mates and we had lovely conversation with them. Mayor Barnes of Richmond also came to dinner and we got to visit a bit with him and his lovely wife. Dinner was super good. After dinner we went up stairs to the main theater. We had nice seats and waited for the concert to begin.
Ronnie Milsap was okay. It is interesting that Claude and I haven't really gone on and on about the concert per se. Lots of good songs were sung. We have been to see a lot of the musicians from our younger years. Most have been in great or good voice still. Ronnie was in okay voice. But we loved hearing the old songs we enjoyed years ago. Claude even purchased a CD of his classic hits. Once again I ended up sitting behind a very large lady with a very big head that she loved to bounce up and down and side to side with the music. The other interesting thing was that the concert itself was only one hour long. No intermission. The back up lady vocalist also sang two solo songs. Ronnie did do a medley of some of his best hits so that you got a lot of his music. There was one of his band that was from Lexington. He played every instrument under the sun, everything from a saxophone to a steel guitar. Amazing. Happy we had this fun evening together.
