And now for dessert...

Now this is what we call some "punkin' pie." Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at the Bay City General Store. Take time to enjoy your family and friends and to be thankful for all you have.

Ebay or Bust!

We're Packing our Bags...

We all got together here at the Bay City General Store, here in Bay City, Illinois. (We stayed up all night coming up with the name for the store --pretty clever, don't you think?) Well, anyway, we all decided maybe it was time to dabble our toes in this century just a little bit. Talvin (he's the one in the back with his hand on his hip) doesn't think much of our "dad-blamed" idea, but he still doesn't have FM on his truck radio so we didn't pay him any nevermind. So here's what we did... we loaded up some of our neatest stuff and we've headed straight for Ebay and we've gone and opened us up a store there. We hear that there are some right friendly folks over there and we're looking forward to meeting them. You can find us at http://stores.ebay.com/Bay-City-General-Country-Store Drop by and see us and let us know what you think -- Talvin sure did!

Next Door Neighbor

We thought we better introduce you to our next door neighbor before you arrive at the Bay City General Store Hotel or cabin. You might want to draw your curtains (what a quaint term -- draw your curtains, sure can't take everything literally with the English language) before you retire for the evening. It's our understanding he does have an eagle eye! We are always enchanted, not to mention awe-struck, when one of these soars over the river in front of our house. We practically wear binoculars around our necks here because you never know what you are going to see on the river. Like last year when we woke up to a huge flock of birds floating on the river in front of our house for as far as the eye could see -- PELICANS!! Lots of them and snow white! We thought we'd had a change in latitude during the night. They stayed with us for a couple of weeks and then moved on. Come see us and meet our neighbors!

Rush Hour

Just a word of caution to guests arriving at the Bay City General Store Hotel or Bay City Cabin --you might want to get an early start to avoid our rush hour traffic.
