Kentucky

I hope everyone will be able to attend the Christmas Dinner at Claudia Sanders Dinner House on 08 December in Shelbyville. I still have vivid memories as a young teenager stoping by the original Dinner house on our way back from camping in a farmers field at Guist Creek Lake in the 1960s. When the small dam was build the valley was flooded and the old road, where it went into the lake, provided a great boat ramp and camping spot. Our family had a 16 foot camping trailer which my dad towed with a 1960 ford galexy and we would stop at the Colonels Lady for the buffet because it was such a great deal. I was surprised they would even let us in since our camping trailer did not have a bath/shower and I am sure after a couple of days of fishing we did not have the most desirable scent. When my grandmother passed away in February of 1998 I found it very ironic that this is where my cousins, brother and other family members met to have lunch on our way back from the cementary in Bagdad Kentucky. I have not been to the new facility but I look forward to the scent of fried chicken and the hospitality that I remember as a kid.
