StephP's Journal

 We had a good Mother's Day, we took a small outing out of town on Saturday night instead on Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day because everything closes early on Sundays and the plan was to eat and than go to Sam's Club.  If you go to a place like Sam's on an empty stomach, guarantee that you will end up buying a cart full of food that you didn't plan on buying.  We ate at Red Lobster, we only eat there on special occasions because it's too expensinve to eat there on a regular basis.  The regular places are usally cheaper than that but more "up scale" than McDonald's and Burger King.

There's a restaurant here called Fire Mountain, the idea came from the Ryan's restaurants, we went to a Ryan's and decided we liked our Fire Mountain better because it has different buffet tables you can get food from that you want, at Ryan's, you take a tray like you're in a cafeteria and push your tray as you walk and pick up what you want that they put out.  You coun'd go back to the buffet tables to make another selection, that's what we missed.  It does get messy there when it's busy, Sometimes there is food on the floor and sometimes there's different food accidentally mixed in with something else on the buffet tables.  We could have gone there to eat but we wanted some nicer and wanted to get out of town for awhile.  It's nice to get away from your hometown if only for afew hours in a day, I use the bus system to get away from my apartment building for afew hours and go to the mall or somewhere else.
