Oh, Where are the Friendly Five?

Today, we're off to have lunch in Frankfort, Kentucky, U.S.A.!  We old pals from many years of living in Danville, Kentucky, have traveled from other towns in Kentucky today: from Louisville, Leone; from Lexington, me/Jan, and from Danville, Harriet, Linda, and Rosemary.  Joining us from Frankfort was Judy, Harriet's sister-in-law.  Our destination was the Sage Restaurant, part of Wilson Nurseries in Frankfort, located on the East-West Connector highway.

In the front, from left: Linda, Rosemary and Harriet.  In back, from left are Judy, Leone, and Jan.  Taken at the Wilson Nursery, Frankfort, Kentucky, 7/15/14.

The Sage Garden Cafe in Wilson Nurseries.

If you're looking for an extremely unique restaurant with positively wonderful food, come to the Sage. On the tables and growing live in containers on the walls are fresh herbs.  The menu is quite large.  I had a chicken salad sandwich on cranberry-walnut bread.  Included were a dill pickle wedge and chips.  It really was outstanding!  Even though they were quite busy, the service was very good.

We found their quantity and quality of plants and related products to also be outstanding!  The garden store is the largest one I've ever seen associated with a nursery - anywhere!  My mother and I used to haunt these both in Sacramento and San Antonio and elsewhere.  Wilson's is the best!

I love Day Trips!  Naturally, with my 'get lost' genes, I had to take the faithful GPS.  To my surprise, it routed me on country roads, not on Interstate-64 east.  I trusted the GPS and enjoyed going to Frankfort a new way, very scenic.  I especially enjoyed all the roadside wildflowers, the Queen Anne's Lace and the tiny lavender-blue asters.  Many of the farms had a double row of black fences.  There were also plenty of stacked stone fences.  It's amazing how much you can see if you're not in the heavy interstate highway traffic, trying to survive!
