My two sons and daughter in-law wanted to take me to lunch and asked me where I wanted to go and I said to Jackson to Santee Crossing Embers. It is about 20 miles from here so not to far, we arrived there about noon time and it was pretty crowded but we decided what we wanted for lunch and ordered. They have a what they call a skillet dish mine was ham, sausage, bacon, potatoes and cheese and egg on top. It was the first time I have had their skillet dish and I have to say it was delicious. I would order it again it was so good. I did bring half of it home as I don't really eat a whole lot at one sitting. We saw our favorite turtle on the way home.

Oh my! @Marcyaz, you have made me cry. You reminded me of my dear Paggy, my dear pet turtle. She was so small, half of my palm, when she was given to me as a gift. I loved her so much. When I decided to work here in Manila, I left her in the province (countryside). After few months, my mother said she passed away. I know its not true. She's so healthy. I believe it's because of superstitious belief, that turtle will bring misfortune. I regret that I didn't bring her with me. I never thought they'll get rid of my dear Paggy.

Oh so sorry about your dear Paggy and I never meant to make you cry. Maybe this turtle picture you can download and think of your dear Paggy and I do not believe that a turtle can bing misfortune.

It was a very nice Sunday afternoon and the turtle did show up again. He is a cutie or maybe he is a she, how do you tell on turtles.

Oh I also love the Olive Garden but unfortunately the closest one is over an hour away from us. The turtle is cute and I hope he/she stays out of the road. I love their chicken and dumplings there. Have a good meal and have fun.

The skillet dish I had was sausage, potatoes, eggs and bacon on top with toast. I am putting up a picture similiar to what I had. We took the turtle and put it off to the side of the road.

@lady1993 The skillet dish was really good and we only did for the turtle what anyone who saw him would have done.

I like going to breakfast or lunch sometimes. It is a nice treat. That lunch you had sounds real good. You have some good kids, that's for sure. That is a cool turtle. I wonder of he got across the road quickly.

That sounds really delicious except for the egg. I don't like eating eggs out as I am so particular about how they are cooked. My brother says I almost burn them

I'm pleased to hear that you had a wnderful time there. Anyway the turtle is very big and chubby . Is he walk on the road ?? Isn't it dangerous ??? Because though the vehicles move so fast this guy may not concerning on them ??? Is he ?? As humens when a fast moving vehicle approaches we start to run 100m race.

Your skillet dish sounds like what we would call a full English breakfast
