Went to Jamies Restaurant and tried the small open face roast beef and it was good and it was pouring down rain. I just got upset when I met a car with no lights on and it rain so hard that you couldn’t see it. When you got your wiper blades on be kind and turn your lights on. more

The following story about strawberries was researched and written by Lynn Brown, editor of “Oak Leaves” which is a part of the publication of the Boone County Historical and Railroad Association. The “Boone County Historian/Oak Leaves” is published 3 times a year. This particular story is a “sneak preview” of the spring issue which currently is at the printer and will be released the last week of May.
