Lunch in Exeter

The last day that Shirley, Virginia and Bobbie were here we drove to Exeter to have lunch with two good friends from the Stratford Church. Jan and Gail work in Exeter. We met them at Eddingtons at noon. It is a restaurant that is in an old two story Victorian house. We had a lovely time with them over a delicious meal.

One thing Exeter is noted for is their white squirrels. The only other place that I know of that has white squirrels is Olney, Illinois. We drove around Exeter to see if we could find some. There is a small park close to the church and as we drove up we saw two of the white squirrels. We jumped out and began snapping their pictures. I've been wanting to get pictures of them for quite a while, but keep forgetting to take my camera when Jack and I go to church in Exeter.


There were also a couple of tourist stores that we went into. The temperature was around 70, just the right temperature for walking around town. Virginia found a baseball cap with Canada on it that she had been wanting to get for Clyde, and it was on sale. Here is a picture of the four of us. This is a small park right down town. A man sitting on a bench at the park offered to take the picture.


We found it necessary to check out the Tim Hortons in Exeter. Just needed to see if it was the same as all the others we had visited, after getting Shirley and me a diet coke from McDonalds. Exeter is only about 4,000 but has a busy highway that goes through it, so they have a McDonalds.
