After we slept late and having breakfast we started the planning for leaving. We know we wanted to get more gallons of water (In case I haven't explained we only drink and cook with bottled water while we travel. We've learned from experience not to count on the water at RV parks. You just never know what you are going to get!) We also wanted to make sure we had some food that we could make quickly.
After going to Wal-Mart I had a taste for ice cream. Of course we had already left Waynesville so we drove past our RV park and drove to Maggie Valley. We went to Herndon's Cafe and Creamery. Boy it was smelling so good in there! I had a pumpkin shake and Sam had a butter pecan shake. Sam and I were the only customers so we got to talking to Michelle and Jimi, who are the owners. They had lived in FL and had honeymooned in Maggie Valley. So when the economy got bad in FL they moved to NC and bought the ice cream place, fixed it up and added sandwiches and soup. They are creating a border of pictures of Veterans and they wanted to take Sam's picture.
We ended up talking for 2 hours. When we finally got ready to leave we went out and got pictures. One for their wall of Sam and I took one of Jimi and Sam.
Once we got back to the RV we had to put the food away - which we had forgotten all about white we were talking with Michelle & Jimi. They had also wanted us to friend them on Facebook and Sam sent a copy of the picture I took to their e-mail site.

After a little while we started getting hungry and decided we should go back to the Cafe and Creamery. Jimi was making his bar-b-que sauce when we were there and it smelled so good. We both had bar-b-que pork sandwiches - Sam's with chicken noodle soup and I had potato salad. the food was good. We spent another couple hours talking before we left with a quart of Bar-B-Que Sauce that Jimi gave us. We did have to promise to give it 2 more cooking times.
Good Food - Good Conversation - Good People!
