'Nuther day, 'nuther rejection. Found three more agents to submit query to. One via e-mail, already sent out, two via snail mail, will go out Friday. Other than that, just researching away. Learning interesting things. Retreating German troops would herd cows along with them, as well as a peasant family to milk the cows. Troops would drink the cream, throw out the milk. Go figure. Lots of dead cows from artillery and bombing raids. Hard to bury. Needed bulldozers. 

Time for at a place called "The Black Sheep"! Sounds interesting! God, I love being retired!

Will add more upon my return. 

After lunch - Lunch was excellent! We split a sandwich called the "Miss E". It was on Texas toast, grilled to a perfect thickness and crunch, filled with avacado, bacon, chedder, red onion, tomato, and horseradish! No one flavor overrode the others, very balanced, very, very good! I ordered the Swedish meatball "sub". Right! This thing was at least 22 - 24 inches long! We ate half, brought the rest home for lunch tomorrow! It had 7 good sized meatballs, some gravy, tomatoes, and cabbage, and may have had something else as well, but you can check the menu for that, if you want. It was made on a French Baguette. that was just right sized, and crispy. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. It may not last until lunch tomorrow! 

The place is small, like maybe at one time the living room of someone's house. It has a wide variety of pictures, paintings, whatever, hanging from the walls, no of it related to anything in particular. Along one side there is an old church pew the length of the wall, three tables and a booth. And then, a booth turned at a 90 degree angle from that. Several tables in the middle, and more tables and booths along the other wall. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometime in the near future, we will be heading into town to try their dinners. But not tonight. We're still full from lunch. 

While were were out, received an e-mail response to the query I sent out before we left. Reject! Oh, well, at least lunch was good. 

Tonight I am going to spend my time drawing and laying out another watercolour painting, half sheet size (15" x 22"). Tomorrow I will actually start painting it.
