We decided to take a day to run down to Stephenville since David had never been there and Leslie had not been there since she was a little girl when she would visit her great grandmother. We did a quick search for things to do in Stephenville and found out there was not much to see! We drove down (about 30 minutes away) and stopped and Jake and Dorthy’s Café, a local fixture that opened in 1948. We both had the lunch special which was a “short” chicken fried steak and crinkle cut fries (invented there). Yummmm! We later found out that Leslie’s great grandparents were good friends with Jake and Dorothy! Afterwards we thought there would be some stores around the county square similar to Granbury but were disappointed to find almost no stores! So, we flexed to the other thing we had found to see, another winery of course! Bar Ditch Winery was interesting. The owner was running the tasting room and we had a great time talking with her. She started making wine when she had some spare “Wild Mustang Grapes” that she had picked in bar ditches in the area. She later planted grapes on her property from cuttings of the wild grapes and expanded from there. The wines, including “Mustang” wine was different and interesting. We really enjoyed talking to the owner. On the way back, we drove past Leslie’s Great Grandmothers house in Stephenville that she had visited as a young girl. Afterwards, we picked up Keirra and went up to the property to see what the concrete guys had accomplished. Unfortunately, it was obvious they had not been there and no work was accomplished. Sigh.
