(The) Cracker Barrel
I am in Minneapolis for work and got a call from Amy to tell me about her trip to Cracker Barrel (or as many southerners refer to it, “THE” Cracker Barrel) with the kids. At some point in their quiet dinner full of hash brown casserole and fried okra, a nice young waiter dropped a plate from a nearby table and somehow part of the broken plate made it’s way across to my 5 year old son’s ankle and cut it open. There’s nothing that will kill a nice dinner faster than a bleeding, crying boy in a crowded restaurant. Amy stopped the bleeding and took Nathaniel to the hospital where he received a few stitches and Amy says she may have seen a little view of the bone in that deep cut.
Nathaniel is fine and back home but I am preparing my list of “needs” that I will present to the management of (The) Cracker Barrel on Monday when I get home. Here are a few ideas:
– negotiate a settlement that will pay for the rest of our adoption
– free food for the rest of our lives
– a Compassion sponsorship table at every (The) Cracker Barrel in the country for the next year
– free toys for my kids every time we go eat there so they will stop asking me if they can have it
– one of those Kenny Rogers cds they are playing currently at the restaurant – I love me some ‘Coward of the County’
I’m still working on the list so feel free to throw me some new ideas.
What about one of those little ferret things that are attached to the battery operated ball that makes it look like a rodent is running around your house. One of those would be cool.

Oh wait…I haven’t been there lately but I bet Amy could get a new wardrobe consisting of denim shirts with embroidered fall leaves and a turtleneck with little leaves embroidered around the neck. And some leaf earrings.
Oh! Oh! And a turkey shaped toothpick holder!
Maybe you should just stick to your list.
Wow, David’s enjoying this!
Don’t forget the candy sticks – watermelon is my favorite, but some strange folks like licorice.
Go ahead and ask for two Kenny Rogers CD’s and my Christmas would be complete:)
i love you, mom
I got that cd last time I was at THE Cracker Barrel. It’s really good and I’m not much of a “country” fan.
Rename the “Uncle Hershel” breakfest to the “Uncle Brian” breakfest.
They can donate a Cracker Barrel mini-bus.
Rocking chairs?!?!?
They can sponsor a “giant checkers” tournament as a funraiser for college funds.
You HAVE to get one of those golf tee games. And maybe a couple of Baylor rocking chairs.
Placement of Uncle Shaun’s CDs at every Cracker Barrel in the country.
Don’t forget the lifetime supply of YANKEE candles! Your children could give them to their teachers (or just the one from Arkansas)!
