Fun Day With The Girls!

I had a little day trip yesterday! I went to Wisconsin to visit some of my scrapbooking friends! I first went to St. Croix Falls and picked up my friend Shelly

and then we headed to Turtle Lake to my other friend, Tammy and had lunch and little art day.

It all started years ago when one of my co-workers told me about these great prime rib sandwiches at the Turtle Lake Casino. Well for those of you who know me know that it is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD, and I have never forgotten how this girl raved about these sandwiches. I have wanted to go there ever since but have never gotten there. Well it just so happened that all three of us had the day to do nothing so decided to get together and go and try these out.

Let me tell you this sandwiche was HUGE! The piece of prime rib was almost bigger than the plate and it was served on a hoagie bun for $4.50! If you were to eat that anywhere else it would have easily cost over $10 for a piece that size. So not knowing how big it actually was I ordered Nachos too, needless to say the nachos came home and so did half of that sandwich for Dave!!!

After lunch we went back to Tammy's and did some art, Shelly and I snooped at all the great art work she has all over her great stamping room and then we copied some cards that I plan on using for club!

Once again we got hungry, can you believe that? ha ha ha so off to the Hotel Bar and Grill for dinner. Tammy is a regular at this place and she knew everyone and everyone knew her! Oh did I tell you it's a small town or should I let you think that she gets around? Ha ha ha No it's a small town and she has lived there forever!


Now as we walked in we were told it really wasn't the Hotel Bar it was really the "Hot L Bar".

You can see in my photo that the E is burnt out and I guess has been forever. This little bar was amazing, if you ever get the chance to go there do. They have a bar tender that paints on ceiling tile and for $40 you can have anything you want painted on a tile. Here's a picture of one that is in memory of Tammy's son Tony. There were a ton that looked like people's business cards, very cool.
We all tried to be good for dinner so Tammy and I both had grilled chicken salads and Shelly had a burger that was huge and she got sour cream and chive flavored fries. Well could you have passed up a sample of that? I couldn't and they were the best!! We also started out with something called Corn Nuggets and they were good too they were similar to a corn fritter if you have ever had one of those.

So it was a very fun day and by the time I got home I was exhausted! I drug my stuff in and went to bed!

Oh Yeah I almost forgot to introduce you to my new friend "Barney". This is Tammy's cat and boy is he lovable! He took a liking to both Shelly and I but it was my bag that he loved the most!

Have a great day,
