I can't believe I'm writing this post so late on Sunday, but it has been on hectic weekend, but in a good way. My husband's son was here from PA, arriving on Friday and leaving this morning. Friday was spent just hanging out here at home (it was the first time he saw our new condo since we moved in on April 27). We had a great dinner at home (I surprised myself with a salmon stirfry, and rice dish; it was pretty great). Then apple and cherry pie for dessert, as well as Italian pastries. My SIL and brother, who has pancreatic cancer, and are our neighbors now, stopped over to meet Mitch and have dessert. It was great fun.
Saturday, was another gorgeous day, and guess where we went?? Okay...it has to do with books...LOL
We went for a long drive to this wonderful place called "The Book Mill". It use to be a grist mill in the 1800's and was converted into a used bookstore and coffee shop, Add WiFi, comfy couches and chairs, and sometimes entertainment at night, and it's a booklover's dream. I had not been there in 12 years so I was thrilled, and my husband and son enjoyed being there as well.
The GPS worked fine getting there, but then we travelled in circles trying to get to our nex destination which was meeting up with my children for dinner in a town about 15 miles away. Honestly, this book mill is out in the middle of nowhere. Their store's motto is : Books You Don't Need, in a Place You Can't Find"...LOL
Of course who among us can resist visiting a place that sells books, and leave empty handed? Especially, when it is some place that you might not get back to in another 12 years!!! So this is what I picked up:
Lady Oracle; Margaret Atwood - The Haunting of Hill House; Shirley Jackson and Independent People; Halldor Laxness, and a book bag and tee shirt with the store's motto.
Then it was off to dinner at a great place where we met my son, his wife, and my daughter and her partner. It was great to all be together as it had been a while since they had seen Mitch.Today after Mitch left I had to change the linens, wash clothes, run to a few stores, and now think about supper. Now when things around here are back to normal, tomorrow they will begin putting a new roof on our condo! Let me tell you, our cats are not going to be happy with all the noise (one is really nervous around strangers and with noise). It is suppose to be a 2-3 day project.
Enough for now, need to make dinner before sundown, as my husband, who is Jewish, will be fasting for Yom Kippur. Have a great week everyone.
