What a fun outing! I have never been to a Cracker Barrel. I only heard about it and a friend on Facebook complained about one - that the food was not good. But I guess the one you went to was great!
Poor Stan - his stomach is the class announcer!
So glad that you have "George" to help you teach!

Thank you so much for reviewing and your great comments. I have learned that Cracker Barrel is either really good or really bad. If I had my druthers I would prefer the Cracker Barrel in Canada. Yep George was a great help. I already fixed that. lol. Hugs n smiles!

It looks like a garage sale at Cracker Barrel, but the food is good and it is fun to browse through the gift shop. Another fine chapter you've written.

A wheel barrel? Is that what you call them. We say wheelbarrow. Are we in the realm of cultural differences or typo?
Talking of which your use of the word "rockers" in the context of them being outside the restaurant. We do use the term but my immediate picture was one of young men in leathers and biking gear. Over here this dates back to the 1950s when teenagers were either rockers - bikers or mods. The mods wore anoraks or parkas and rode motor scooters. There were often pitched battles between them. The idea of you wanting to go into a place frequented by rockers was most amusing to me. I hope you enjoyed your rock.
Another fine episode

Thanks for reviewing. You got my curiosity so I had to check and you are correct it is wheelbarrow but the slang is wheel barrel, so I will change it. Lol, to think that I grew up calling it that, wow. And I see the wisdom of changing rockers to rocking chairs. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
