Restaurant Review: Cracker Barrel Restaurant and store

Image
  Cracker Barrel is a national chain with a southern twist.  I had never been to a Cracker Barrel before coming to Kingman.  They started in Tennessee and have only moved to the West the last couple of years.  There are stores in Las Vegas, and even California. This is a nice restaurant and country store.  There food is very good.  Better yet it is reasonably priced.  They always seem busy.  The only unpleasant thing is you have to pay at the store.  This allows them the opportunity to get you to spend more money. Sometimes there is a line to pay.  Last time we went we had the daily special, country fried pork which was very good.  They also have country fried steak.  I have also had their fried chicken.  Tony has enjoyed their dumplings.  The southern cooking seems to hit the comfort food spot.  There are 664 restaurants in 45 states.  A side benefit of Cracker Barrel is for the most part the allow boon-doc...

Kingman Parks: Mohave Neighborhood Park

 This park is south of Highway 66 and south of one set of railroad tracks.  It is almost across form the Ramblin Rose Motel.  It is off of Topeka Ave on Mohave Ave.  This is a small park and currently the slide is blocked off.  The swings are open.  It also has a hoop for basketball and several picnic tables and grills.  I called parks and rec and they said they didn't think the closure was permanent but for repairs then it would reopen. the area currently blocked off

Project Movement Dance Concert Was Incredible

Image
 A couple weeks ago I attended the Project Movement Dance Concert to see some of the kids I have taught in primary (and other kids from our ward I have not taught.  I was not disappointed.  I really liked the acrobatic dance as some girls from our ward were tumbling across the stage.  They were incredibly talented.  In addition the musical Moana broke out on stage that was fun.  Even the director Miss Julie took part.  Another member of our ward family, Hattie Graff from our ward helped with several of the dances.  She is a dance instructor there.  One girl we taught in primary is a ballet dancer.  The stage was full of our Sunbeams from last year.  I like seeing the little ones perform.  I get to see them in a different light than church. They presented a movie of their aerial class at the airport.  What a fun sport I don't see myself ever doing but women us fabric to twist themselves up and then untwist.  It is some...
