Apple Tree Becomes a Drive Through

The Apple Tree Restaurant appears to have gone forward earlier then expected with their drive through service.

Luckily the people on the other side of the wall in which the mini van plowed into had JUST gotten up and were paying.

The Beaver Dam Daily Citizen says "The vehicle penetrated the building up to its windshield, also taking out a window and a booth."  (hee hee - they said "penetrated").  It just sounds odd doesn't it?  penetrated?  I want to look up other words to use besides penetrated but I'm afraid to type in "penetrated"  in on the internet.

OH MY - I just did on Free Dictionary and got naughty words!  Well - it CAN be used but geez - to the dude that wrote this - get your mind out of the gutter!!  

Here is a photo of the mini van who's nose penetrated the building creating a lot of excitement and aroused all of the patrons.  

Pictured below with his back to the camera is Josh looking at the penetration after the mini van was finished.  The van was smoking. 

The funny thing is that Josh and Jenny were taking a walk and were very very close to the Apple Tree.  Van crashes and even though Josh is right next to the restaurant he has to run a half mile BACK to the fire station to get his 100 pound fire suit on. That's Josh in the trendy blind yellow.

We got a yellow letter in the mail from Columbus Water and Light that I read over like 5 times and Istill don't have a clue what it means.  HELP!!!

It says:

We will be eliminating the collection of recyclable materials.
Items that will be acceptable: grass clippings, yard waste, brush leaves, oil, vehicle batteries and appliances.

What?  I have no idea what they are talking about.  Are they no longer picking up yard waste?  I've been sitting on 4 BIG paper bags of yard waste for like 8 months now! and NOW they are not going to pick it up?   I suppose I can take it to the dump across the fairway where most people dump garbage - saw two cars dumping garbage there this weekend.

Did you guys see the flyer  for Columbus family Dental this weekend? Those were my photos!!

I made burgers on the grill last night and tried something new.  I marinated the burgers in Coke!  Yea - Coke!  I've seen this a number of times on the Food Network in Hamburger competitions.  Frying a burger in Coka-Cola and decided to try it.  It was mighty tasty.   I'll certainly do it again!

I want to be cheerleading about Columbus and how it has it's act together.  The Community Development Authority (BTW - the word Community is spell wrong on the City of Columbus Website) and the City Council are actually working together and once I have anything concrete I'll cheer you in. All I know is that a lot of people that were worried about the Columbus downtown are very happy. Lots of great things in the plans but a few I'm not sure I can make public yet and would like permission.

OH - Art Fairs!  I'm getting a TINY bit stressed out.  Not from the art stand point but the logistics.  I put up my Trim Line Canopy for the first time and it's SWEET.  Took 2 hours but I was taking my time watching the video. Why would it take two hours you say?  133 parts!!  But a lot of those can stay in place now. 

My WORRY is that I'm not sure two cars are enough space for everything involved. The canopy takes up a lot of room and all the other stuff involved  . . . . I'm not sure a Civic and Subaru can hold everything.  We talked about looking for an old pickup or something - trade in the Civic for Ranger.   Or maybe rent a truck for a day?   Suggestions?  

That's it for Monday!  I won't talk about Trevor Hoffman  or how I hated the ESPN announcers whose were more interested in talking about how they define "small market" that the actual baseball game last night!
