We had decided last night while eating our snupper that today we would have brunch and then go back to Stora Antis for dinner. Mark and Sandy liked it as much as we did and wanted to go back before leaving us. We had sort of an odd assortment incuding egg salad, bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches, pieces of Lithuanian sausage, peanut butter toast, strawberries, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. People just sort of picked out what they wanted of what was available. We sat around the flat and solved the problems of the world for a while until the rain slacked a bit and then headed to a nearby museum of local history and the backsmith's museum.
After that, we came home, took a little rest, checked on plane reservations and headed out to the sculpture park for the poetry reading Sondra, my felt teacher, was leading in the park. I had told her we would come, and was glad we did. We were a few minutes late, so she was already talking to the group when she saw me. She introduced me to the group and I introduced the others. Obviously, we didn't understand the poetry, but we enjoyed seeing the statues and stayed with the group for a good while before peeling off to go to dinner.
We got to sit in my favorite room in the restaurant and the food was excellent as we knew it would be. Del and Sandy had salmon, Mark had a chicken dish and I had a turkey dish that is famous there. I cansee why. It was stuffed with nuts and fruits and had a cranberry sauce. It was served with rice pancakes. The owner came in to talk with us. He has owned the restaurant for 10 years, and it is more a hobby, since it is only open 115 days per year. I'm glad it has been open most of the time while we have been here. It has been in business for more than a hundred years, however.
Having Mark and Sandy here has been such a wonderful thing. Now we have to let them go home.
