ICHABOD

This morning started off early … and busy.

I was literally up “at the crack of dawn”: just could sleep any longer, so I got up.

While the coffee perked, I got busy on tracing the stencils onto the back of adhesive art foam: I wanted to make plant pokes for the Fall chrysanthemum pots I have on the front porch steps.

2 cups of coffee later, the stencils were cut and stuck to bamboo skewers.

I then started on Fall Squash Plant Pokes.

It was about 10:30 AM when the last squash poke was laid out to allow the glue to harden; so, I thoughts I’d drive over the river to see if I could scrounge up some Fall odds’n’ends to work into my hodge-podge Fall decor.

I didn’t find anything that appealed to what I had in mind, but the day was nice for a short 40-45-minute drive.

On my way back home, I decided to stop at the Ichabod Restaurant – we had driven past it monthly, for 44 years and never pulled in … this afternoon, I risked life and limb to pull in and sample what they had to offer.

I ordered a Chili Burger & Garlic Fries.

The Name of the restaurant tickled my funny bone: and it is appropriate for this month πŸ˜‰

I laughed when the image of Jeff Goldblum, in Ichabod Crane character, popped into my thoughts: he was the best Ichabod Crane actor (MPO):

The road was busy with non-stop, angry traffic (Oregon drivers are the worst drivers!)

The parking lot was postage stamp sized – and on the left side of the road: I waited for a break in traffic, held my breath, and zipped across the lanes; hoping and praying I wouldn’t overshoot the tiny entrance slot … or have an angry, pants-on-fire pothead slam into my back bumper.

I made it without a traffic snafu 😊

The restaurant was nice.

The staff was friendly.

The food was good – and reasonably priced; the atmosphere was enjoyable. I’ll be stopping again when I am passing through.
