First, let me say how sorry I am that my post was so short last night. I was typing away and then someone started shooting off fireworks and my mind went blank! Of course they gave me a tranquilizer, aka the calming pill, and that was that!I heard that the County Fair started last night here in Salem and I guess that's where the firework noise came from. I'm hoping that tonight will be quiet. Well, it's never exactly quiet here with the trains honking by every hour on the hour. But, after three nights here we're all sort of used to that noise. It wouldn't be a motor home park if there weren't train tracks or an airport right next door.
This morning Jim took all the girls to the Deepwood Estate. It is a beautiful Queen Anne Victorian home built in 1894 and set in a 4.5 acre English garden. It was really beautifully landscaped with several "garden rooms" in the Victorian style. The interior of the house had golden oak woodwork and elegant Povey Brothers stained glass and hand painted windows. Very elegant.
After the tour they went out to lunch at a place called the "Saucy Onion", where they had a sign advertising, "world famous french toast." The french toast was one piece of delicious french bread that was about 8 inches in diameter and two inches thick. It was unbelievably delicious with strawberries, blueberries and marionberry syrup on top. Two of the menu items they didn't try were the bear claw french toast and the cinnamon bun french toast. If we were here for a week they'd go back and try those too.
Well, tonight was our finale dinner. Our group is splitting up and heading in different directions tomorrow morning. We cooked hamburgers tonight and even us dogs got to celebrate with a bite.
