We headed out around 11:00 AM and had lunch at Asiana in Claremore. If you don't know about it, Asiana is the best Chinese buffet restaurant I have ever known. There is a full time sushi chef manning a good sized sushi bar. The sushi is as good as any in Tulsa where you have to pay an arm and a leg per serving. The buffet food is well prepared and there is a dazzling variety of offerings.
After a more than ample lunch, Sheila and I headed up Route 66 and then east on 28 toward Grand Lake. Maddy and Sheila were both a little confused about the directions. At one time, I had to firmly tell Sheila that I-44 and Grand Lake are BOTH east of Route 66. But, despite the confusion, we arrived without a hitch.
Roger and Maddy's home sits on a peninsula with the lake on three sides. Roger's pontoon boat is docked within a short walk of his back door. It is a small but very well designed little house that should be perfect for a retired couple. It was already well furnished and well decorated. They bought it furnished.
Sheila came prepared to work but there was little work to be done. I helped Roger program his new smart TV to use the internet and Sheila helped Maddy unpack a few boxes. But aside from that, we mostly visited. Roger's brother Randy who lives nearby stopped in for a while. It was a very pleasant little afternoon.
Around 3:00 PM we headed back. I decided to take Highway 82 back to to 412. That took us south to Lake Spavinaw then over Spavinaw Mountain. It was a pleasant little drive and a great way to end a quiet little Sunday afternoon. And a good time was had by all.
