Where Can A Guy Get A Good Steak Around Here?

For anyone who has already read yesterday's post I want to apologize and beg for a do over.  I was really tired and didn't do a very good job.  I've updated it now, so it's a bit better.  Sorry.

It was an easy drive this morning from Ardmore, Oklahoma to Fort Worth, Texas.  We stopped in Arlington, a suburb of Fort Worth, and spent a few hours visiting with relatives.
On the way we went by the Texas Motor Speedway where the NASCAR races are run.





From Fort Worth we headed west to Abilene, Texas where we are spending the night.  It finally looks like what I think Texas should look like.  There were long horned cattle grazing along the road and lots and lots of prickly pear cactus.
So, here we are in Abilene thinking we'll have a nice Texas beef steak for supper.  We asked at hotel desk for a recommendation of a local steakhouse.  After a  little confusion and difficulty finding it, we were disappointed to find they were closed for their employee Christmas party.  Really?  You might think this is a rare occurrence but you'd be wrong.  It happens to us a couple of times every trip.  We hear about, or read about a place only to find it's out of business, closed for remodeling or some other circumstance.
Thank goodness Sonic is always open!

  1. Glad to hear the trip has been safe and enjoyable so far! The forecast for later this week is mid-60's and partly cloudy. If you have a preference for dinner on Friday let us know and we'll lay in suppplies or find a good restaurant.
