Road Trip - Day 3 - MaidRite

It's an appropriate title for the day.  Each trip to Iowa has to include at least one stop at MaidRite.  We met Sharon and Danny, and, Jacque and Howard at the Oskaloosa MaidRite for lunch.  I'm a purist, so I had the regular size MaidRite (as opposed to the "Jumbo"), fries and a chocolate malt.  We had a great conversation - talked about grandma and grampa Collins - some memories of dad and a few other topics.  It was good.


After we got back to Jacque and Howard's I went fishing.  I caught 3 very nice Crappies and one nice Large Mouth Bass.  All in all a fun afternoon.  This evening we went to supper at the new Casa Margarita in Montezuma.  A Mexican restaurant that replace the old soda shop.  Gone are those days, but the memories are still there.

The sign as you leave the MaidRite -- and the name does say it all!

Have a great evening, day, whatever is appropriate.  Be who you are because you sure as heck can't be anyone else.
