Check out the Grays River Cafe on SR 4, which is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. They have a great menu, which includes delicious home cooked food by the Ruch family. I can vouch for the cheeseburgers, fries, biscuits and gravy, crispy chicken salad and their incredible chicken fried steaks. Even the coffee is extra good and always fresh.

The Rosburg Wednesday Senior Lunch Bunch meets each week in the Rosburg Hall for a delicious home cooked meal prepared and served by Pat Potter and her volunteers. Join a great bunch of local neighbors, enjoy a good meal with good company.

It looks like we are in for some more wet weather with possible flooding as well. As of Tuesday, the ducks are making their way to our small pond in the pasture, so time to stock up for a couple of days of not driving out. Be safe everyone.
