Ice Ice Baby...Ice...

My ice maker in my refrigerator quit working this past winter due to a water valve up in my attic. Getting to the water valve is a pain number one and number two it would cost me quite a bit to get a plumber out here to fix the problem.  The refrigerator is under warranty but the valve in the attic is not. 

What to do?

Saturday I went to Sam's and found this little number. An Igloo portable counter-top ice maker. After the purchase I brought it home, followed instructions and walla I now have an ice maker bin full of ice thanks to this little number.  

Igloo Counter-top Ice Maker

It makes a tray of ice in 10 minutes and can make up to  26 pounds of ice in 24 hours. It makes two sizes of ice cubes.  

Large Ice Cubes

The thing I like about it is I can take it with me on my trips and make ice in my motor home. 

Walmart carries it for $119.00, I got mine at Sam's Club for $99.00. Sam's has it in red or white. 

I am making more ice to put in

gallon size freezer bags to put in my freezer. Having ice in this house is a must!

This was the cheapest solution to my problem and after seeing what this little machine can do... 

I recommend it.

Ginger Sue's...Liberty, Missouri

While in Kansas City picking up Christie for our trip to Washington DC, Christie took me over to Liberty, Missouri, a quaint little town about 14 miles from where she lives in North Kansas City, to have breakfast at a darling little breakfast and lunch room called Ginger Sue's. Ginger Sue's is located one block west of the town square and Court House on State Highway 152 on the north side of the street. 

Christie had the West Coast Omelet while I had my favorite, biscuits with sausage gravy plus sausage links and coffee. 

The service was wonderful, my food hot and most delicious. We had a very attentive server who always had a smile on her face. 

Price: $ for single $$ for 2

Restrooms: Clean

Setting: Booth or Table and Chairs

Staff:  Friendly and Attentive

Parking: On street, may have to walk

Would I come back?  YES! 

After breakfast, Christie and I drove up to the square to take a look around. I would love to go back and spend some time exploring the antique shops that dot the square and then wander through some of the museums there especially the archives at William Jewel Universtiy that was established in 1849.

Jessie James the outlaw made a withdrawal from the bank in Liberty, now a Jessie James museum.  Liberty was settled in 1820 and became a jumping off place for westward expansion. 

There is a lot of history wrapped up in this small town. One could spend some time uncovering it and be all the richer for it.

If you are going to be in the area drop by Ginger Sue's, have a meal then go experience the friendliness of small town America.
