We are about to set off for Ol' D's Soda Shop in Harlingen.
 |
| Took two buses and many cars to get us all to Ol' D's Tonight |
 |
| Trimpes sat in the front of the bus. Mary Hazlett had enough of having her picture taken so that is her covering her face in the front! And, she thought that would save her! Lots of luck! |
 |
| We put the bad kids (Dick and Karen Larsen, Dave and Karla Arrasmith and Jim and Julie Rademacher) in the back of the bus!! |
This was the second Winter Ranch Bus Trip to Ol' D's Soda Shop in
Harlingen. Everyone had such a good time the first time that word
spread. We ended up with over 100 people on the list to attend. I'm
not sure how many we ended up with at Ol' D's, but I have to tell you we
were packed in like sardines!!
 |
| Once you sat down at the table, you had to skinny up to get out!! |
It took awhile to get us all seated and get our drinks and dinners served. Luckily, some of the people with cars arrived earlier and had their meals already. The people who ordered the fish and shrimp had to wait a long time for theirs but then I was told that the fish was just delicious so they were glad they ordered it!
