Yes it is the Haunted House. I have several things planned for meals. We will go to the Bonaparte Retreat for one meal and there is a Pizza and Steak House in Keosauqua that is really good. They have great pizzas and hot meals and sandwiches. Their homemade flour taco is one of my favorites! It is a foot long and 8" wide stuffed with all the taco fixings! I usually end up taking half of it home! My daughter is going to bring in some meals for us and I thought I would do some crockpot meals a time or two. When we go to Cantril there is a little cafe across the street we like to eat at so that is the plan for lunch that day. My DD is going to make soups and I have a chicken veg soup I am going to make and we will do a soup and salad meal for one of them.
Anyone who wants to bring snacks is more than welcome. I wlll provide some snacks and drinks. I will have coolers and Joy provided us with a pitcher of water last time.
Here is what I have planned for the schedule and meals so far but DD and I are still discussing her part and what she will make. So this is not exactly set yet but won't change too much.

As we are in a B & B and the owners live in the back part they request we not use the sewing machines after 10pm. Joy serves breakfast at 8am and again at 9am so we can't start til 10am. Her breakfasts are really good!
