Faith, Folklore, and Friends

 For all my birding friends . . . The grays are Sandhill cranes. Some folks at the refuge estimate 22,000 live there.  The white ones are whooping cranes.  There are from six to twenty there, depending on who you ask.  We saw four while we were there yesterday.  The Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge is just off Interstate 65 outside of Decatur, Alabama.

We were in Decatur, Alabama, yesterday, and you know what that means! I mean, who can go to Decatur and not stop here? It was a little past normal 'lunch hour' but there were a lot of us enjoying some "Q". This is worth the trip. It took Hub a while to make up his mind, but he settled some on pulled pork. I had the loaded potato.  That is a regular sized dinner plate that it is on. You hungry yet? The restaurant is full of ribbons and trophies that have been won for their fabulous barbecue.  In my opinion, they were all well deserved.
