Our Mother's Day Brunch........

Back sometime in the 1980s, the Lodge of the Four Seasons started what they then called the Racquet Club on their properties along the Lake of the Ozarks......  It was surrounded with condo buildings, that were for tennis players...  The club building housed the courts and swimming pools and hand ball courts.....

This has had varying success over the years, and is now a kind of stately old property where folks still have their condos...  But it is called the Country Club now as the properties are more connected to the many golf facilities associated with the Lodge...

We had reservations at this Country Club property today for the 11 AM brunch...  It was kind of fun, as we had Grandma Loyce and my son's wives and all five grand kids....    I lost track of the number of chafing dishes spread along the wall overlooking the main tennis facility...

We had roast baron of beef and a roast turkey, along with all the potato and vegetable dishes...  But the far end contained eggs and bacon and sausage and biscuits with gravy......     I haven't eaten since...!!  They brought a rose to our table for each mother in our group....!

As we finally left the property it was sunny and brilliant, with a light breeze and 65 degrees.........

Later in the day we drove back to Kansas City as the sun was low in the West, and in our eyes the entire way....  But it was a pleasant day, and we enjoyed being with our kids and grands very much..

Hope your mother's day was memorable and pleasant where ever you spent the holiday........

  1. I'm sure Loyce and your DIL's really enjoyed that Brunch as well. I was getting hungry reading the menu you wrote about until you got to the "biscuits and gravy"!! That white, gooey wallpaper paste is a great way to ruin a perfectly good buttermilk biscuit.
