Well Fed

Everyone probably experiences fun food and extremely good food while on vacation (not to mention too much food).
Jeff and I have been that lucky!  
Saturday night was Great American Bar & Grill
Sunday morning was hotel breakfast, waffle, bacon,eggs, fried potatoes, toast and great coffee.
Mass at St. Benedict's fed us in a different and lasting way.  The homily was intense and enlightening, emotional and uplifting - the Samaritan woman at the well.  We learned so many things we had never heard before.  Even though the Mass was a little more old-fashioned than ours (a little Latin thrown in), the music and involvement fed us spiritually.
Lunch was leftovers from last night in our awesome hotel room kitchen.
After the North Shore Drive, and PIE at Betty's Pies, we ate dinner at Black Woods, oh my, well fed!
Monday breakfast at the hotel again.
We were fed again at Salvation Army.  A 35ish fellow stopped me and asked me to help him shop for clothes for interviews, dates with his new "lady friend" and a new life in general.  Oh my!  Jeff joined us later and gave his seal of approval and a suggestion to add a "newsboy" hat when wearing the suit for dates.  He was super clean-cut with a long braid, and so humble (very good looking as well).  I am crying just thinking of him.  He bought a pair of black dress pants, a very nice suedeish black sport coat, a pink dress shirt, maroonish wing tips and a clip tie with black, maroon, some pink and a little blue, (he didn't know how to tie a tie).  We picked it all out and he tried it on for us.  Sharp.  He bought a lot of other shirts and things and then paid with some vouchers (perhaps a "going back to work clothing" program?).  Jeff watched him walk far away, not to a car.  We wished we would have asked him to have coffee with us so we could find out more about him, but perhaps this was the way God had planned it.  We had a cool experience at Goodwill too, but I'll leave that story.  We felt so honored to be chosen, and well fed!
Back to the hotel for leftovers from last night.  Grizzly's is slated for tonight.
We are feeling very rested and relaxed, this was the perfect destination for an easy weekend!  We do miss the little ones like crazy though!
I'll add a pic of us at Gooseberry when I get connected to a regular computer.
