Cavalier & Christmas

Yesterday, after work, Ike and I took a quick trip down to Cavalier, ND for some groceries. It's a small town about 20min away and I needed some baking goods which are less than half the price they are here! Of course we get distracted...my shopping list only contained two items: Butter and Cream Cheese...the cart, however, contained: 3x Butter, 4x Cream Cheese, Cheese, 2x Flavored Coffee Creamers, 4x Flavored Coffee in mini packets, and somehow 3x candybars magically appeared at the checkout. We should have eaten before the grocery store instead of after but we weren't sure how late they'd be open until. For a mid afternoon meal we stopped in at what looked like a good greasy diner. Turned out to be a bizarre restaurant with 3 different sections to it, no ambient music, hand written self-advertisement posters, and a decor you only find at thrift shops. The food however was great and as it turns out not greasy at all! In fact I think they baked my american fries in an oven (as opposed to deep fried and left in a warmer all day) and the burger was homemade (not a pre-formed wet dog smelling frozen one)! After our leisurely meal we headed out to our vehicle for the short trip home. The street was decorated for Christmas much like ones you see in movies; with glittery garland stretched across the street every ten feet all lit up with giant bulbed festive lights. The decorations weren't what stopped me dead in my tracks before crossing the street to our van... What did was when I noticed that the whole town resounded with Christmas music....incredible...they play music over loud speakers for the whole town to hear! I literally looked around to see if I was walking through a cheesy made-for-tv motion picture in action! Such a cute town! Oh and great coffee...mmmm...Chocolate Caramel Brownie Coffee....how can you go wrong.

P.S. I'm not apologizing for my 3 month absence from blogging....you know how it goes!
