Blessing Hotel

[flamingobabe]

Would anyone be interested in a ride to the Blessing Hotel for lunch

http://www.texasbob.com/eats/tbe_blessing.html

It's been a couple of years since I was there, but the home cooked food has always been good. Blessing is just west of Bay City off of 35. I'll check today and see where a central meet-up place would be. It might be that different areas meet at different locations and then all meet at one location.

I'll post back this evening.

We might be up for that. My wife works almost every weekend now, so getting a weekend off to ride is a chore. Now that we're getting double digits, might have to wait until the heat drops off a little.

Now your getting closer to my neck of the woods! When you finalize the plan post it and count me in (weather permitting). Steve

Depending on when, I might be able to make it. Gonna be out of town some over the next several weeks.

Lunch is the best time to go to Blessing....with that said and the heat index above 100 degrees....I think we should wait until the weekend of the 21st.

Who all can make the trip to Blessing on Sat. Aug. 21st or is Sun. Aug 22nd. Either day is good for me.

I suspect my wife is working that weekend, so may not be able to go. But it will STILL be hot on the 21st. I'm thinking mid Sep to really think about venturing out.

[flamingobabe]

The 1st weekend in Sept could work for me ...then after that I'm tied up for a while..but that doesn't mean that the rest of y'all can't go...ride to Blessing...it is a fun place to eat..

Any of the prevously mentioned dates or the first week in September would work for me......

Wish I could make the ride but it's a little too far away for me. The last time (only time I guess) that I was in Blessing was in 1961. I was repairing telephone cable after hurricane Carla. I had been working and staying in Palacios and the company sent my helper and me to Blessing one day to fix several spots of wet cable. It was a blessing, okay, since we were able to buy several cases of beer and smuggle them back into Palacios which was under martial law and no alcohol sales were allowed. That beer sure tasted good that night. Thanks for stirring up old memories.

Ed

[Arch]

Ed

[ozzie]

[scudrunner]

My wife is working too, so we won't be able to go.
By the way, does any one have their Spyder at Mancuso South for repair? I was told there were 4 in this last week for repairs and clutch rebuild. Mine is going in next week for all the campaigns and audio repair.

[fastfraser]

A little far for me ,but thanks for the offer ! :thumbup:

[TexasTripod]

I'm still in. I'll keep checking the board to see if it's a go or not. Steve

Buc-ees will be fine, we can meet around 10:00 and head to Blessing from there, if you are still interested.

Ed

[TexasTripod]

Sounds good Arch , see you at Buc-Ees at 10:00. How about it Three-Wheel?

The ride was good,made great time (Rode Fast) and the food was fantastic. I had to leave the group on the way back but Arch and friends rode on to parts unknown.

[Arch]

It was a good ride, hot but good. The food was great, luckily one of our crew had been there before, or we would have had a hard time finding it. Hot as it was we still did 300 miles and the air dam and foot shield worked. Looking forward to doing it again.
