RAINY DAY, NOT MUCH DOING, BREAKFAST AT BARTLIFFS IN CLINTON

We woke up to a wet rainy morning so my day’s efforts were pretty much confined to inside the carport and sheds which was Okay because there are always lots of things to do in those places this time of year.

DSC_0010Kelly wanted to go to Clinton this morning to check out a few things in a couple of her favorite stores but didn’t like the idea of driving in the steady drizzling rain.   I saw it as an opportunity for a mess of bacon and eggs so seized the day. Probably been about 10 years or more since we last stopped into Clinton’s popular Bartliffs Bakery and Restaurant so this morning between a couple store stops that is exactly where we went.  Bartliffs great bacon and eggs breakfast was just as good as always and I was pleased to see they hadn’t jacked the prices through the roof and took short cuts with quality which  seems to be so often the case with things nowadays.  And of course the coffee was included in the price.  Did you hear that AMERICA…..I’ll repeat it…..’the coffee price was included in the breakfast price’.  And the toast was buttered!!!!  Picked up a couple excellent carrot muffins on our way out too.

  2. Great photo of the two Blue Jays kissing! I hope it isn't as cold in Illinois as it is in your neck of the woods. I do like the way those geese hit the ice and skid along. They're ready for Spring I bet.
