When the phone rang this morning at 8:00, I knew immediately who it was...Tony. If you've been following my Java Journey with The Coffee Cup, then you know that I've experienced delay after delay.
So it shouldn't surprise you in the least to find out that he found some other things on my list that he still needed to do. LOL...I knew it! I just knew it!
At that point, I realized that there was a real possibility of having to stay in Jackson another night. Because there was no point in going back over to the shop before lunch, we made plans for the day...breakfast at Starbucks, shopping at Cabela's, back to Tony's after lunch.

Cabela's...there's nothing like it!

That's one big bear!

Ella didn't know that Cabela's was only 45 minutes from Jackson and was thrilled at the possibility of going there. We tried out every camping chair in the store, bought cute Christmas cotton sweaters, and ate lunch on the balcony overlooking the entire store with its stuffed, wild animals on display.
We got back to Tony's about 2 o'clock to check on his progress. And guess what? He wasn't going to be finished in time for us to do a walk-thru, go over all the systems, go through the paperwork, hitch up and leave for Van Wert before dark. Surprise, surprise. I'm totally OK with this because at this point I don't want to rush things. I want to be on the road home feeling confident about the electric brakes, the sway bar, and towing something new.
Let me share a few more photos of The Cup with you on this second evening in Jackson, Michigan. Have a good evening y'all.

PLEASE...no stowaway shop kitties wanting to escape Michigan during the winter!
Dinette table is back in place.
Magazine rack...Scotty-style.
"Cashew" is the lighter color & "saddle" is the darker color on the bench seats.

The original hinges and latches have an art-deco look.

Who's next in line for a make-over?
