Picnic In The Park at Sim Park, 2020 West Murdock
2023-07-14 11:30 - 13:00
I always thought that Sim Park was a park in Sim City, but no, this is real and not virtual. We’re celebrating National Picnic Month and World Kebab Day. It’s also National Nude Day, so be careful and watch where you poke that thing. Shish! We’re going to have to improve our logistics and actually bring a grill so we can grill kebabs or whatever else. And maybe the goats will still be there. Sim Park has always been a type of petting zoo; heavy petting, if you know what I mean.

Tom S. suggested that we tour Rise Farms which is on the roof of the old Fidelity Bank. I thought it would be a perfect match to have coffee at Botanic, the elevated plant shop and coffee bar. We don’t need reservations for Botanic, so whoever gets there first grab a table for six to eight people. You can see their menu at: www.growgiesenplantshop.com/coffee-menu.
Then at 11 AM we’re going to tour Rise Farms on top of the building to see their amazing garden in the middle of old downtown. Parking is available in the public parking lot or on the street.

This is our 24th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of Wichita Prime Timers. I can’t imagine what it was like twenty four years ago, that was before my time.

When it’s National Eat A Peach Day and National Pecan Torte Day, I could only think of one place that might have both peach pie and possibly pecan torte and offer a free slice pie! It’s been a while since we’ve been here, like in the winter. We need to remind them that we’re still here for them. You can visit their menu at: https://www.livingstonsdinerwichita.com/menu-best-breakfast-and-lunch-wichita.

Lunch With The Guys, Tianluo Bistro, 11309 E. Kellogg Dr, Suite 200. Reserved.
2023-08-25 11:30 - 13:00
Originally my plan was to reserve lunch at Lucian’s in Mulvane. I had heard a lot about Luciano’s and I thought it would be a great place to visit. However, I was not able to get a response. In fact, their website kept crashing when I clicked on the site. So, rather than to take a group all the way to Mulvane and be disappointed, I decided to go Tianluo Bistro, in town, instead. Tianluo Bistro is a different kind of Chinese Restaurant. It doesn’t have a buffet, but the entries on the menu are very intriguing, take a look: https://www.tianluobistro.com/menu. I’ll try to get us the big table in a private section.

It’s National Dog Day, not to be confused with the Dog Days of Summer, although it may feel like it.
In any case, come out to bowl or watch us bowl, whichever is easier on the eyes. And since it’s also National Cherry Popsicle Day, let’s hit an ice cream truck for dinner, or someplace close by.
