Thank You Sign	Mansfield to Mt. Grove = 18.5 miles Stayed in Mt. Grove	Onward to Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston = 169 miles.

Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston, MO (the first one)... We wanted to get there early, before the rush! Very neat place.	Sue's salad - think it's big enough? Didn't know her, but she gave me permission to take the picture...	The servers carried pots of fried okra, fried potatoes, macaroni and tomatoes, black eyed peas and sorghum and honey... this may be fried potatoes?

As much as you want -- this is macaroni & tomato -- it was sweet and good	Of course as many of the "throwed rolls" as desired...	We didn't get any black-eyed peas, I was too full to think about it before we left to ask for it. We did have okra that was great. In fact, everything was great! We even could have a "doggy bag" to eat for our evening meal!
