T Stands for KC's Classic Burger Bar

 

Teague had an errand to run in Attleboro, but it was close to lunch time so she pulled into KC's Classic Burger Bar

It was an old-style, 1950s/early 1960s diner with a classic car theme.

It was close to Halloween so besides the letters cut from old license plates indicating the Mens Room, there was also Count Dracula.

Booth and car fins

It was a warmish day so I decided to have a vanilla shake sans whipped cream. Teague had a chocolate shake.

For lunch I built my own burger. Lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, and bacon with waffle fries as a side. The fries came with KC's Maple Bacon Mayo sauce for a different take on the fries.

The food was pretty good and our only complaint was the choice of music. Classic Doo-Wop and Early 1960s music would have added to the old-style ambiance instead of listening to artist like Elton John and Billy Joel. Though to some, I suppose that music is now considered "Oldies".

The Friday Five Good Things

 

Five good things that happened this week.

1.  Went on a Target run with the Eldest. Was nice to have her company.

2. Due to a family emergency for Teague, Camp Newport turned into a Day Camp Newport. We visited Blythewold, had lunch at the Judge Roy Bean Saloon, and dipped our toes in the ocean at Easton Beach.

3.  When I got home from day camp, Himself had planned Tony's (take-out) for supper. No cooking for me.

4. Errands, fried clams, and a raspberry lime rickey at Harry's.

5. For my commute to teach my last class, Himself had tuned the car radio to my favorite classical music station.

Fun Facts About the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

 

From 1998, the official state polka, Say Hello to Someone in Massachusetts, written by Lenny Gomulka

Fun Facts About the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

 

Massachusetts has an official ode titled Ode to Massachusetts , words and music by Joseph Falzone. The ode was designated in 2000.

"Ode to Massachusetts"

Freedom, Freedom, Freedom

From the Freedom Trail in Boston

To the dome on Beacon Hill

To Framingham and Worcestor

And Springfield if you will

From Concord on to Lexington

No matter where you roam

There's a not so common Commonwealth

It's the place that I call home

 

You are the heart of New England

Old Ironsides and Bunker Hill

Where JFK once paved the way

To the day the world stood still

Your one by land and two by sea

Helped set our country free

You can't get better Massachusetts

You'll always be sweet home to me.

No, you can't get better Massachusetts

You'll always be sweet home to me.

Freedom, Freedom, Freedom

Fun Facts About the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

 This week's fun fact is that Massachusetts has an official Glee Club song.

"The Great State of Massachusetts"

Words by George A. Wells, and music by J. Earl Bley

Adopted on November 24, 1997.

"The Great State of Massachusetts", words by George A. Wells and music by J. Earl Bley, was designated by Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 2, § 43 on November 24, 1997.

I couldn't find a live version of the song or sheet music. Instead, have a listen to the Worcester Polytechnic Institute Glee Club singing "Wake, Freshman, Wake" from the 2011 Alumni Weekend
