I found a lot of conflicting versions of the story. Then I found newspaper stories and Chris & I went back to the restaurant. <br /><br />The owner Yves' walked by to greet us and ended up sitting with us for 20 minutes talking about the two burros and the rescue ranch he's involved with ... fascinating stories from a fascinating man. So I had to make some minor changes to the story for this week's T-party and I'm writing a follow-up for next Monday's T. I think you'll enjoy it.Eileen The Artful Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281091759658067977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-63364540400008375002018-06-06T17:22:41.065-05:002018-06-06T17:22:41.065-05:00I'd love the old photos on the wall, too.

The Vulptex is a creature from the same movie which is only briefly seen on the frozen planet Crait, but is a key- the creature shows the Rebels a way out of what appears to be a hopeless situation. The Vulptex is like a 'crystalline fox.' and is another imaginative creature that makes me love the Star Wars movies!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-85647689473727567922018-06-05T14:02:00.530-05:002018-06-05T14:02:00.530-05:00bleu N squiggles.....with all thoz chcknz ....we w...bleu N squiggles.....with all thoz chcknz ....we wood knot eat ther either !!!!!!!! ☺☺♥♥<br /><br />thanx for the share elizabeth; nice restaurant; it's nice to look back<br />at what was.......expensive though !! ☺☺♥♥da tabbies o trout townehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716543768517442543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-15583141462083724312018-06-05T13:54:32.663-05:002018-06-05T13:54:32.663-05:00Loved seeing the photos!

I like pretty much any salad though. I kind of like the chicken theme...maybe they went with that rather than the 'steaks' I saw featured on the older building sign? ;) I always find it a challenge to choose a healthy option at these type of restaurants. fried, sauces, and lots of cheese!

I had grown them a couple years ago and got beautiful plants but they were shaded too much to get well developed.

We go to a similar place near Vienna always with my stepfather, when we visit him..he just loves it . They have all over the huge restaurant bears, teddybears - that's so kitschy - I wouldn't like to take photos a admit! And they are known for their big (for the hunger of a bear) portions. But I don't get many things there for me as they serve mainly meat meat meat ....<br />Last time I took fried onion rings and the time before I was happy to get asparagus noodles ( was a seasonal special).<br />But I don't like to go to such restaurants- I feel with you about this one!

I'm with you how it tastes. No my favorite. And I do like the old photos of Wichita. Now I have never been to Kansas so I am not familiar with your home city, but it is really a big city. I should have guessed with the fact you have a zoo as well as many other big museums.So I did enjoy seeing these photos and imaging what Wichita is like. And it is fun to try new places, but disappointing when they aren't much good. Hope you have a fantastic T day.
