The five best things about Lovell

Since this is likely my last trip to Lovell, I've started thinking about all the reasons I like coming here. I guess I'm sentimental...sue me! Here are the top five.



1. Burritos with cheese. This is easily worth driving 1200 miles for. You start with a Reeser's Bean and Cheese burrito. Cook it in the microwave for a minute then pour a scoop of Que Bueno melted cheese on top. Add to that a small packet of taco sauce and you have heaven on earth! Of course this is extemely unhealthy and shouldn't be abused, but that's easier said than done!


2. Chinese buffet. There is a really good chinese restaurant in Powell that we love to go to when we are here. My mom and dad go so often that when they go in there and sit down the waitress brings them a Pepsi and a Diet Pepsi without them having to ask for it. One time I went there with my mom when dad was at home. The owner asked my mom if he had died. I thought that was a riot that the only reason in her mind for him missing a meal there was if he was dead. After she found out that he was okay she sent us back with a to-go meal for him, on the house. How nice!


3. One stoplight. You can get anywhere in Lovell in one minute-walking! There is the one stoplight, but that's just for show. The town folks like to say "we're the town with the stoplight!" Last summer when I was home I was saddened to see that they had taken out the stoplight. My mom assured me that they were just working on it and that it would be put back in. I thought it was pretty sad to go from a 'one stoplight town' to a 'no stoplight town.' Rest assured...the stoplight is back and it does turn red at least once an hour!

4. Mugs. The funnest thing to do in Lovell is to go get a mug. You have to drive clear across town to Saveway but it's only 50 cents! A mug goes perfect with reason number one. There's nothing better than a Pepsi with your bean burrito with cheese!


5. Twin bing candy bars! These little beauties are plentiful out here in Wyoming but very hard to find other places. It is creamy cherry filling covered with nutty chocolate yumminess. Everyone needs to try one. If you haven't tried one, leave a comment and I will send you one. It's that important! You can even buy them in the grocery store here by the box full. I must not be the only one who likes them!






So needless to say, since four out of the five reasons that Lovell is great have to do with food- unhealthy food- when I get home I'll be spending most of my time on this:
