We stopped about 40 miles from home, at the Blue Springs Cafe along Interstate 70 in Illinois. They advertise foot-high pies and food "like grandma used to make" on billboards along the interstate, and Josh and I had lunch here once when we were still relatively newlyweds. You pick a main entree, and then they bring all kinds of side dishes (mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits and apple butter, green beans, cole slaw, etc.) to your table, served family style. The food is yummy, the atmosphere in the restaurant is nice, and we hadn't been here in years, so we had to stop!
The menu is posted on the wall.
The foot-high pies!
And here are a few photos from the past week, and with these I'm finally caught up posting ALL of our photos! Here are Megan and I reading at bedtime in her new twin bed, and Hildegard the cat often likes to sit with us. She sometimes sits at the foot of the bed, and other times she likes to perch on my shoulders like this.
These last photos are from our church's annual baptism and pool party at our small local water park. Megan loves the kiddie water slides!
Megan's on the top platform getting ready to go down the big slide. She's hard to see, but I didn't want to take the camera any closer to the water!
Getting ready to climb back up and go down the slide again!
