Freshwater: Sherrie's Place

Freshwater

Located in the wilds of Wyoming, the name Freshwater was chosen as a Western analogy to Christ. Just as He is the Living Water, and we must have Him to have eternal life, any desert dweller knows the importance of fresh water to life, both for self, and the nourishment of crops or livestock. By taking nourishment in God and His word, we strengthen our own relationship with Him, our faith, and the quality and abundance of our fruitfulness.

Our keystone verse is from Jeremiah, Chapter 17, Verse 8: "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see whenSave heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

The fruit that we speak of is mentioned in Galatians 5:22
"²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

And the heat could be anything we experience that might test our faith in God; trials and tribulations, relationships, anything that focuses our love and attention anywhere but on Him...

Sherrie's Place - Good Eats!

This local little diner has been here for years, and I am kind of ashamed to admit this only my second visit. But I've been telling my family about it for awhile, and we finally happened to be in town for breakfast on a weekday, so we dropped by Sherrie's Diner.

Seat yourself in this cozy, unpretentious little hole-in-the-wall and prepare yourself for huge portions of amazing food. Did I mention the food is AMAZING? On Thursday only, you can find homemade doughnuts! And I don't mean plain old baked cake doughnuts. These are the real thing, glaze and all. We picked up two maple with bacon and a maple with pecans to take home to the kids. There were also chocolate with Oreo, chocolate with coconut, and several other flavors I can't remember.

I can't remember the name of my breakfast, but it was a skillet with jalapenos and homemade..yes, HOMEMADE green chili over eggs and actual, CRISPY hashbrowns. I also had a beautiful, soft, and tasty pancake the size of a dinner plate. I did take home a box.

My husband had an omelette smothered in green chili and a pancake as well.

The coffee was really good, and the refills kept coming. Friendly service, they invited us right up to choose our doughnuts, and it was just such a family style welcoming place. They do have sugarfree syrup, and there are vegetarian options.

I'm just sorry I forgot to take pictures of the doughnuts!

(and real cheese) (and guacamole)

Excellent Coffee with Copious Refills!

Hashbrowns that are actually crispy!

I had the Veg Skillet smothered in Green Chili. It comes on top of a big stack of hashbrowns and with your choice of eggs. Both breakfasts came with choice of toast, English Muffin, or a pancake the size of a dinner plate.

I was in town with the girls the very next Thursday, and we wandered over to Sherrie's Place. There was a bit of a wait as every table and booth was full, and there were people standing in the doorway, but I knew it was worth the wait (and by the time you go somewhere else to wait the wait would have been over).

When one of the wonderful staff brought my coffee, she set down the mug and said "I found this one for you." I felt so special I took a picture and posted it to Facebook :).

The food was excellent, and we took home doughnuts for later (and for Paul, who wasn't with us on this trip).

I had an omelette, Hannah had biscuits and gravy (her go to breakfast choice), and Laramie had a veggie omelette. More pancakes bigger than your head, and yummy hashbrowns!
