11/22/17...We left for the Shack, Stopped in Shepherd for breakfast

Bill, me, Sue and Chuck eating dinner at the Shack (the picture is blurry, but I put it on anyway since it's the only one I took today.

We went to Chuck and Sue's at 9:30 and followed them to the Shack.  They could only get a room for one night because they waited till the last minute to call and we are staying two so we couldn't ride together.  We stopped in Shepherd and walked through some a shop we always go to. It's in an old house and is really neat to go through.  We used to go to Loafer's Glory...a shop we loved there, but it closed.   I bought a couple of pillows at the shop we did go to.  We went to breakfast in town too.  Had amazing bread pudding afterwards; the best we have ever had.  Bill and I split one.  

We enjoyed our nice ride to the Shack.  We checked in and took our stuff to our room.  We were on the second floor.  We haven't been up there since the first time we went 6 years ago.   We went to an Amish Country Store. Bought some oatmeal, chicken soup seasoning, Weber Chicken spice, tea tree oil, and some homemade molasses cookies.  The cookies are delicious.  We ate dinner at the Shack.  We had tender roast beef, chicken breasts, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, and fresh salad.  So delicious!  They always have great food there and all of our meals are included in the price for our room.  Charlie, Sue, Bill and I played Euchre.  Bill and Charlie won 3 games.  Sue and I were the losers.  At 8:00 we went down for banana splits.  The sweet Christian couple who own the Shack are so sweet.  He is 87 and she is 83.  She cuts all the bananas and he scoops all the ice cream.  There are 9 flavors to choose from.  Bill pours water into cups for people and I get the ice for him and watch the toppings to make sure they are always full.  We started helping our a couple of years ago.  It is a good way to get to know the people staying there.  95% of those staying there are Amish from Indiana.  Lots of people ask us if we are related to the owners.  Bill is funny, he says no, but I would like to be.  We enjoyed our banana splits lots.  Bill asked Mark for big scoops. Mine were too big for me, can't imagine eating more.
