The last time we went to Riley's because Carratas had a fire, Riley's opened just for us, I asked you to support the lunch and you turned out in bunches. Everyone had a great day.

Lexington is a neat little Civil War town. It is the one that still has the cannon ball in the pillar of the court house. Remember this is the battle where the Union had the high ground and the Confederates won the battle by hiding behind the hemp bales and rolling them up the hill!!
Lots of good riding out this way. May sure if you come out 24 highway, you take the 224 River Road to Wellington-Napoleon for a nice ride along the river.
I know there are some of you who can only go on Tuesday so I have planned something for you, too.

If I had to pick the place for the best "ROMEO FOOD" breakfast or lunch in all of Missouri or Kansas, it would be Jerry's. I have eaten at Jerry's places (Woodwether Cafe in the West Bottoms) for over 40 years. Jerry has tried to retire 2 or 3 times but he loves to cook and see the smiles on people's faces. Jerry is in the kitchen and cooks every order himself. The double cheese hamburger with fries and a milk shake is something you have never seen before. So big and juicy you don't know how your going to get it in your mouth. The pancakes fall off the side of the plate and the best omelets you have every had. Oh, do don't overlook the cinnamon rolls, huge!!
Okay, now the negative. Jerry's is small place maybe max 40 (?) and since Jerry cooks everything himself if they are 30 - 40 customers it gets real .....sloooooow. That is the reason I am putting this on a rainy, chance of flurries, cold day when we can't ride. I told Jerry 10 to 15. He was really excited and offered to put the tables together and give us the whole place. I said NO!! I hate to give such a build up and be hoping that all the ROMEOs don't show up, but I wanted to share Jerry's with you. If you can't make it this Tuesday do try it some time. I did tell Jerry we have had 30-40 at breakfast/lunches and you should have seen the "twinkle" in his eye!! He loves to feed people..the more the merrier. Go at your own risk!! He may be slow cooking, but he has lots of help and your cup will never be empty!!

Mike came in for a piece of pie to make sure I wasn't eating alone. Denny came all the way down from Camden Point. In all I counted 9.

Everyone was impressed with the food. I think we even filled up Dan although it took a cinnamon roll to finish it off. Dan made sure that Paul could get out and see the guys.

It was worth the trip, just for the cinnamon roll fills the plate and only $2.99. Whenever you are really hungry and you want a good meal, stop in at Jerry's Cafe. You will be glad you did.
As predicted the weather today was terrible. Hopefully, this will be the last. Don't forget Thursday!! Lexington
Mary thought the bread pudding was wonderful.
