Saturday morning, August 26

We enjoyed morning coffee in Hezekiah’s basement apartment.

Then we began an all-day road trip with several stops.

First we went to a nearby motorcycle shop where Heze purchased saddlebags for his motorcycle.

He gave the box to Cerwin so his arms were free to try out a motorcycle that was for sale.

Of course he asked for a key and took it for a ride.

He was all smiles to try it.

He decided to think about it for a week. We received a Facebook photo after we got home saying he had purchased it the following Saturday.

Cerwin liked this Edsel police car on display at the gas station next to the cycle shop.

From there Heze took us to see where he works.

He works for Central Lift Maintenance Group as a chassis mechanic.

I was pleased that going to Marcy Jo’s for brunch fit in our schedule.

We had often seen this little restaurant on the Joey and Rory Show on RFD TV. Marcy Jo is Rory’s sister. We followed their show more closely after Joey and Rory had cute little Indy – a down syndrome daughter and Joey was diagnosed with cancer and died in early 2016.

Our view of this very busy, quaint, little restaurant from our table in the back of the room – looking toward the front door.

A waitress offered to take a picture with me in it.

Heze opted for lunch with sweet potato fries and a pork loin sandwich.

I enjoyed the front porch while Cerwin paid the bill.

We certainly enjoyed that brunch stop.

We went up the road a short distance to see Rory’s farm.

Joey and Rory used to hold concerts in this barn. I think it is mostly used for a cowboy church since Joey’s death.

Our next stop was to pick up Hezekiah’s friend, Kayla, and go to the county fair.
