QUIZNO'S

Subs, lunch sandwiches, soups, chips, hot peppers, cake and cookies warm out of the oven and fountain drinks. We had it all.

Today was the special open house for a new Quizno's franchise in Great Bend that a friend of mine just opened. It was fun. Sandra, a friend of mine from Russell, and I made a day of it. We had fun visiting with other friends there. Actually, a lot of folk were there...county economic development directors, PEP board members, Great Bend city council members, and lots of her friends, etc. Most I didn't know, but there were familiar faces to make it a lot of fun.

They passed samples of their soups, had a table of assorted generous size sandwiches that are on their menu, cake, chips, and Batch 81 sauce brought especially by the owner to me to try. She knows I like hot stuff...and it's very good. We ate too much...and I fell off my diet big time. Lots of food. We all had a good time eating and chatting.

Following that, Sandra and I went to the farm south of Great Bend where we walked all around looking in all the little buildings, sampling homemade fudge, checking out all the tree ornaments (all their gifts items were 40% off), visiting with other friends we ran into. We did everything but ride the train. With all the clothes I had on to keep warm, I wasn't sure I'd fit in the train.

Then...back to Russell and home. That was the longest trip to Great Bend and back that I've ever made...and probably the most fun. Now we'll have to go back and eat and pay for it next time. It was a nice day.
