We set out wandering today and stopped at BETO Junction (in Coffey County, at the I-35, US-75 Junction.) This is a truck stop in the middle of nowhere. The nearest town is Lebo, maybe 8 miles away. BETO stands for the four major towns in the four directions. Burlington to the south, Emporia – west, Topeka -north and Ottawa to the east.
According to their menu, each year the truck stop restaurant serves more than 15,000 giant cinnamon rolls, 10,000 chicken-fried steaks and 130,000 eggs.
Girl Scouts were selling boxes of cookies in the vestibule. As we were leaving, I looked over the restaurant’s cinnamon rolls in the case near the cash register. They were $2.99 each. A Girl Scout, a charmingly-enterprising Girl Scout, saw me looking at the rolls and suggested, “For $3, you can buy a whole box of cookies.”
That Girl Scout should be president one day if she chooses the public sector.
I love those cinnamon rolls. Haven’t had one in about 4 years I think, maybe longer. Yes, definitely longer. Gotta get out there sometime and get one.
We had the breakfast buffet there this morning!
When Hubby woke up this morning–he said —do you want to go to Beto for breakfast —- well why not??????????????
So we did!!!!!!!
