Well, We Tried

Our plan was to visit a different church today. It is out in the country. We have driven past it before, but we forgot how. Bob missed his turn, completely. Maybe we will go next week. We ALSO tried a new restaurant in Marion. It has opened up in the old Pizza Hut building. Our response is a very luke warm "meh". Prices are high for what you get, choices are slim to none. Orders are not gotten correct. Hot things are not hot. But the chicken gravy was good. Next week will be different, I am sure.

I also lose my way when I am not familiar with the place. But I don't get annoyed for I am used to losing my way.

Hope you'll find the church next week. At least you know not to try that restaurant again!

Yes, we had forgotten where it was exactly, as it is a bit rural.

@GardenGerty We've recently started going to a really small church out in the country about 15 miles from us. It's really been a blessing to us.

I don't like when a restaurant, doesn't live up to expectations, I really don't go out for food all that much because of this.

I will probably pack a lunch for us. We are good cooks.

Not a great success, but things certainly could have been a lot worse!

We had a pleasant drive together and that is what counts in my opinion.

Well, that restaurant doesn't sound like it'd be worth going back to. I hope you find a really good new one.

Hubby was determined to try it out. We know of some good places to eat, and actually, home is the best.

I didn't make church today and feel it. I like small churches. I hope you make it next week.

We will make it. Will not miss the turn. Most churches around here are small.

@GardenGerty The one I go to is large in building from the 1800's but smaller in congregation. It's in a tiny town less than 800 people and that includes all of us in rural areas.

It's a bit disappointing to get a bad meal and/or bad service.

Hubby had been all anxious to try it out, as our area is seriously lacking in good restaurants. I figured we would just get it over with.

@GardenGerty Sometimes that's the easiest way.

I hope next week will be better. We tried a new place Saturday and it was so bad we took the food back and asked for our money.

I do not think I would do that, I did feel sorry for the people because they are trying so hard to make it work.

That stinks you didn't find the church. I hope you get there next week. That new restaurant sounds awful. I'd rather have pizza hut!
