I suggested a breakfast trike ride to my sweetie Jacque this morning and she readily agreed. So we rode the very short distance to our favorite local cafe, the "Panther's Den". This restaurant seems to change names or ownership every other month or so but the menu and cooking seems to stay to our liking, and today was no different.
We parked our trikes under the trees on the "City" square - and for the first time since moving here, noticed the stone monunent honoring the Confederate soldiers who fought in the "Battle of Mountain Grove" in 1862, by name. About a dozen of them. We'd wondered about the local motto "Historic Mountain Grove", but this is the first time we'd run into any evidence of "history" happening in this neck of the woods.
I googled the term "Battle of Mountain Grove" and only found bits of mention about a Civil War battle either here or in Hartville, our Wright County seat. Oh Well.
We then rode over to visit one of Jacque's dear friends who only lives a few blocks away.
That visit occupied maybe 20 minutes, after which we rode back toward home. It began to clabber up in the clouds and sprinkle on us the closer we got. Frantically trying to beat the rain we made it home just as the skies cleared completely and the sun came out.
Maybe we should ride out again, to make sure MO gets its proper annual 4th of July rain.
