MESQUITE GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Doc is our self-proclaimed activity director and keeps us all going and having fun! Somewhere he heard about a mesquite grilled pork chop dinner, on the second Thursday of the month, at the Legion in Coolidge, about 20 miles away in the desert. So, we were to follow them (tow cars don't hold 6 people), and he "knew the way". Well, we drove clear through Coolidge, and he actually stopped for directions-which is very unusual for a man! So, we turned and drove into what my mother would call, "not the best neighborhood", and of course, it wasn't there. We made a few circles and he stopped and asked a gentleman for directions again. (Keep in mind this is the guy who wants to "help me".) Finally he found it and certainly redeemed himself. For $7, we got a nice sized chop, baked potato with butter and sour cream, green beans, tossed salad, a roll, applesauce, a roll, a small cream puff, and water or coffee. We even could have had 2 chops for another dollar-one to take home for a sandwich. Anyway, even though we had a little two much fun teasing him, we had a good meal and fun!This is a picture toward the end of the food line-I wanted you to enjoy the ambiance-Grinnell people will notice right away that it's a Larry Wilson place!

Something unusual-Don took the picture.

So far, I haven't heard any comments about what happened to us last night on the way home. I don't think they saw us stop-but we had to get a picture of the sign on the highway with lights and flags-that Doc passed twice, but didn't see. In fact if he didn't see it on the way home-then it was three times! I told him today to watch the blog, and hope his good sense of humor is intact!! I also told him my mother used to tell me that people don't waste time teasing people they don't like. I'll bet you all wish I dislike you immensely!
