Stayed close to home but had a nice night out

August 6 – Since we were gone yesterday and going tomorrow we didn’t plan much for today.  I had gotten way behind on my blog and photos so wanted to work on that in addition to always having laundry to do.  We were sketchy on whether or not we were going to town or to a movie.   We ended up thinking we were going to a movie and the grocery but once we arrived we knew we didn’t have time for both so we went to Big Y (grocery), Staples for a laptop case and Wal-Mart. 

We couldn’t stay in town because we were going to a dinner theatre production with Barbara and Ron tonight.  Kam had sent me a gift card to Golden Lamb Buttery in a neighboring town and we found out from Pam, our boss, that they do a MADD benefit production a number of times during the summer.  The price was reasonable so we decided to use the GC for that.  They also do lunches and dinners but this seemed like a nice

idea.  Pam and her friends go every summer to whatever the show is and they happened to go tonight also.  The dinner started at 6:30 and we arrived at about 6 and Barbara and I checked out the gift shop as expected.  Then the guys got us drinks and found seating on the back veranda overlooking the farm fields, animals and lake.  It was quiet and peaceful and we took photos of the various farm animals and chatted with other guests.  Pam introduced her friends and told us what would be happening.  She had told me earlier to bring something to save our seats for the theatre part so we had done that.

Theatre sets and our seating

The building is actually a huge barn with several small dining areas and the small stage area and seating.  It’s very quaint and an interesting place.  Dinner is a buffet and they served fried chicken, potato salad, carrot salad, tossed salad, corn soufflé and during intermission there was coffee, tea and assorted desserts.  The food was very good except the potatoes were not cooked enough in the potato salad.  The desserts were yummy also.  You could go back for seconds but I think Bill was the only one who did.  The play was mostly a drama but with quite a bit of humor.  It was only 3 male characters and it was called “The Drawer”.  It was very good and we all enjoyed it, although it was kinda sad.

Ron and Barbara had ridden with us as they wanted to hitch their truck up tonight since they are going to VT tomorrow to get their new RV.  We were only 15 minutes to home and it was a very nice evening!  We hate to see them leave on Monday.
