We Tried...

Today was a lazy day. We slept in until we wanted to get up. Very nice!!!

Then we got our act together and headed to Frankfort. We really wanted to treat Bonnie to this:

That's right, we were headed to Rick's White Light Diner. I've Blogged about this unique dining opportunity before. We wanted to share that experience with Bonnie.

We got to Frankfort via the back roads and a lovely drive it was.

When we entered downtown Frankfort there was construction. The bridge we needed to take was completely closed down. We followed the detour signs back through town and across the other bridge and down to the street where the diner is located. We parked the car and hung Bonnie's handicapped parking sticker in the window so we could legally park there. Then we all started across the street to the diner, grateful there were not long lines.

Then we saw it...a note posted in the window. You see, the bridge that was closed is just to the right of this picture. It seems Rick must have felt the bridge closing was a good time to do some maintenance on his business. Rick's White Diner was also closed for repairs. Shoot!!!

We got back in the car and Claude pointed it to another place we like to eat in Frankfort...Jim's Seafood. We thought we had taken Bonnie there on a previous visit but she doesn't remember ever eating there. We had a window seat overlooking the Kentucky River at the dam. We dined on an appetizer of Fried Green Tomatoes. Yum!!!  Claude and Bonnie each had fried catfish. I chose coconut shrimp with a side of fried okra. After a delicious meal, we headed outside so I could take a few photos of the Kentucky River.

I got a chuckle out of this sequence of pictures. See if you find humor it in too.

While dining in Jim's, I looked out the window and down and noticed lovely honeysuckles in bloom. I just love honeysuckles. I couldn't get a picture from that angle. While outside, I did find a clump of honeysuckle growing out of the foundation rocks for what would have been the mill or factory on which Jim's is built.

I end this Blog entry with a 'splash'...literally!!!
