My day trip was part of my birthday... We headed East to Rocheport which is on the Missouri River where I bought two bottles of a newly released white wine from one of the wineries. We investigated two "antique " stores which were mostly decorative things for the home. Then it was lunch at the "General Store". I had a chicken curry salad on spring greens with craisins and almonds and a cup of coffee. Bob had a ham and cheese quesadilla with chips and coffee. Both good and enough for dinner in the evening. We were surprised at the constant traffic of diners... never an empty table!!
We headed home through Booneville ( Danial Boone actually lived here for awhile). Then stopped at a huge cheese store in Sweet Springs. I bought some Hemmes Brothers cheese curdles and some apple cheddar... and some home made horse radish from down by Lake Pomme de Terre ! The Hemmes Brothers are a local family... originally they ran a dairy farm but now make cheeses!
Another Antique Mall in Bates City and then home.... where we crashed on our recliners!
