Breakfast at Cracker Barrel

It has been far too long since we've visited Cracker Barrel.  As I've mentioned before, we have only one of these wonderful establishments in our state, and it's an hour and 20 minutes from here in a direction we seldom travel. 

Over the years we've met up with friends for breakfast at Cracker Barrel; other times we've chosen to meet there for personal business or (in my husband's case) pastoral search business over a meal or coffee and a snack.  However, our more likely reason is if my hubby needs to be in the area because of work-related errands he occasionally does here:

That was the case a week ago Saturday.  Our day was booked.  We had something going on around noon and something else we wanted to do in the evening.  But he had an errand to do at Cat, and so, we planned to head out very early and hit Cracker Barrel for breakfast first.  Our Nevada family had given us a CB gift card for Christmas that we hadn't found time to use up until now.

As usual, it was worth the trip. Because of our time constraints,  I could only take a very few minutes to look at some of the fall items in the country store.

I loved the squirrel with the lighted acorn lantern.  Sweet!

The "Autumn Blessings" galvanized sign is so pretty!  I also liked the teapot.

This "We Are Blessed" tray may be my favorite.  It matches the teapot above.

And our meal, as seen at top, was wonderful as always.  This time we chose the Grandma's Sampler breakfast from the seasonal menu.  Simply scrumptious!

We did take our time over breakfast and then completed Mr. T's errand at Cat before heading home.  We traveled a good bit of the way home in torrential rain.  But it was worth every raindrop to have enjoyed our Cracker Barrel breakfast at last.
