MON-last day up nort
wake up early again. putter around the cottage. aunt has dr appt, so i head out about 9ish. stop at potato farmer's place to take pic of his message he left eons ago.
k wants to be picked up at 10, so i pick up the bakery i ordered on thurs.
pick up k. 1st i take him to Trembly's. the best fudge EVER! plus you can watch them make it. k got some mixed candies and some chocolate. i got fudge and turtles. squirrel it away into cooler. k wants to check out the book store since 'soda pop' doesn't open til 11.
i sit on a bench and wait.
of course it's another sunny beautiful day.
when he comes back it is after 11. Soda Pop used to be a pizza place when we were kids. old 1800's building. but all you could see was old wood benches and the tin roof. the new owner peeled away the crap added since 1900. found wood under linoleum, found the original stained glass bench windows. found a fucking soda jerk bar. who CARES if the player piano is gone!!!! and the new owner collects cool stuff which he displays. in the floor near the back, he has installed old brass 1930's sidewalk medalians. we split a sandwich. the waco-TEXASS! pulled pork shoulder on the chef's rolls. OH MAN. i want another sammich! did i mention the soda list? instead of wine, it has a soda list. i got a moxie cherry coke. k went for the honey ginger ale.
man, that was the best. k wants to come back so he can try the burger.
we then went to the soda pop shop where i could get green river and coke with sugar for my other aunt. last time up hear, my bro and i got her a case of green river. she only drank about 3/5 of them. was gonna pitch the rest after a long time, but i drank them. then off for milw.
