Last night Cole, Allen and I had the honor to visit the Powhatan Moose Lodge. It was an interesting…read morenight out this was our first time to a moose lodge and we had fun learning about how the loyal order of the moose works. I expected a dated dimly lit lodge with members wearing big moose hats in reminiscence of the era Flintstones or Honeymooners. It was quite the opposite. I was a busy, family friendly, well lit establishment that looked like it had been recently remodeled. I'm reluctant to say that there were no moose hats. We brought in our own bottle and bought soda chaser at $2 a cup which was extremely reasonable. The food menus looked reasonable and the food looked good. It was late and we had already eaten. We did play a shuffleboard game which was loads of fun the game. It looked brand new and Alen and I won. We beat Cole 13 to 11. We were surprised how much was going on.

This is a thrift shop, so you don't know what you'll find, but whatever you happen upon, it's sure to be well priced. The shop is well organized and neat, with aisles wide enough to not feel claustrophobic. They had lots of books and magazines, of course, and shelves of small appliances. (An electric knife sharpener for $8!) They had baskets of sewing notions and fabrics, plus some clothing. If you like beautiful China, they had a set of Limoges for a steal. Now, the volunteers/employees- so nice! I wish I lived closer, because I think I'd be a regular customer.
