After the Choose & Cut we stopped for lunch in Marion. We were looking for a greasy spoon but couldn't believe we couldn't find one in a small southern town. We ended up at a chocolatier that seemed to be the only place in town that served lunch. The decor was very "interesting." It was a mixture of French cafe, 50's diner and small-town southern restaurant. The old tin ceiling was painted pink, there were pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Rock 'n Roll posters along with red-checkered table cloths and family photos on the piano. All this decorated for Christmas complete with a spinning Christmas tree. The cook came out and took our order because the waitress was busy with the other customer. It took a long time for us to pay our bill because they couldn't process our Visa card because one of the employees was on the phone so they couldn't call it in. As we were leaving I spotted an autographed picture of Goober hanging on the wall. From there we went to check on our house. They were working on the framing for the main floor. Soon we will have a floor to walk on!
