The Fried Fish Is Too High.

 Beautiful scenery but I must pass on this restaurant. After three tries to have an uneventful dinner I will  kindly say No Thank-You Liberties On The Lake.  It has taken me several months to write this review. I would not like myself much if I had written it in the mood that I was when I first considered a review. Looking back now, I see only comedy.

My first encounter was when I had a relative visit from Maryland. I was ready and proud to show-off the lake and the newly opened restaurant. Unfortunately, after  a two hour wait and the hostess saying we did not record your name and that there would be about another hour wait....needless to say we found another restaurant to give money.

My second trip involved circling the parking lot for an hour. Once I found a spot and another hour of waiting for a seat, I found the fried fish was quite good.

 

My third attempt was topped off with an extra seventy-five dollars tacked onto my night.

I had arrived early enough to see several parking spots opened. I looked around for signs or poster. There was nothing, I had achieved my goal. I pulled into one next to a fairly large truck and headed inside to see what type wait I would have. To my surprise it was only around twenty minutes. I even had the table before my wife and son arrive. I even sent them a picture to show them that I had arrived and was seated. The fired fish was good again.

As we were leaving, my son said, Isn't that your car being towed?

It was.

The wrecker driver and I had a few words. He called the attendant out and we had a few words. I knew that there was not a cone in the spot that I pulled into. That's when he pulled out his cell phone with a picture of my car with a orange cone crunched under it.

Wow!

He had me. I paid the wrecker driver and he let me have my car back.

Maybe I am the only one to have the problems that I had. Maybe I am too hard on the restaurant. But, there is always one thing I am sure of my money is my money and I have the right to give it to people I feel look out for me. I don't feel like I was ever appreciated at Liberty On The Lake. Oh I so much wanted to. Most restaurants don't get three tries.  Fried fish should never cost me that much.

How could Monday get any better than to receive this box?

Would you share any?

 

By the way... this is art.

Keftedes For All

 

 

It's Greek-Fest again. Time to get the meatballs. I am addicted them. Once a year Columbia, SC is blessed with a festival of food, shopping, music and dancing behind the gold dome downtown. Just look for the crowd and you are there. It is worth the wait in finding a parking spot to get a plate of  keftedes (meatballs) on a bed of manestra.

The Bill and Camille Cosby Collection

 

"I will preach with my brush."

Henry Ossawa Tanner

 

One of my favorite quotes of all time.

 

I am excited to say that Henry O Tanner is just one of the many artist that Bill Cosby collected. The Cosby family will loan entire private collection of African-American art to Smithsonian.

Bill Cosby and his wife Camille plan to showcase their private collection of African-American art that they have amassed over a period of four decades for the first time in an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution.

A great photographer and Christian.

We went to have family portraits taken at his studio in the town of Chapin, SC. What we came back with was more than we could imagine. It wasn't until we asked about the pictures on the wall that he opened up about his two children that are now in Heaven. The story changed his life and it makes you think about your own faith and how strong you would be in a similar situation. God works in Mysterious ways. I invite you to read his testimony on his blog.

A few words about Human Cloning

 

God is the only creator of life.

 

 

 

And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7

 

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10

 

Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Matthew 4:7

 

 

 

 

 

 



Chuck's In Tuscaloosa, Ala

 

If you are in or around Tuscaloosa, Ala. this place is a must. Chuck’s is friendly (like most places in T-Town) and has a great kitchen staff. The building itself is art and the art on the walls adds to the upscale atmosphere even though fine attire is not required. Call ahead for seating.

 

 

Great atmosphere

 

Creative and appetizing

 

 

Chuck's has a very wide menu from sushi to great steaks. Everyone in any sized party should be able to find a likeable meal. There are some things not on the menu so ask a local for their favorite if you want to be adventurous.

 

A Pastor Jailed For Praising God Too Loud

Thomas Borders has been a member of the church for 20 years. "We didn't build the church on the house; the house was built on the church."

 

This is so wrong that it's not even believable. A neighborhood moves in on a church and puts the pastor in jail for being too noisy.

 

I know there is better way than arresting a pastor for doing something that he and the church has done for years and years (before homes were built around it.)
