More of Old Fort

 We had lunch at the new (to us) Hillman Brewery. 

We were glad to see we could purchase 5 oz. beers.


There's a little river running next to the brewery's balcony dining area. We noticed that the sycamore trees were dying with brown leaves, not going to gold like they should with the season.


After lunch we went around the corner to the Arrowhead Gallery.







It's a nice set-up, but about then is when I started having a migraine...so we headed back to Black Mountain. I have visual problems, so it was good my friend was driving. I went home and lay down for a while, then got up feeling fine.

Today's quote:

When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always. 

-Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 Oct 1869-1948)

    Hello,
    The brewery has some nice views. I hope the beer was tasty!
    My vision goes whacko when I get migraines too, the bright light is awful. I hope you are feeling better.
    Take care, enjoy your weekend!

    I like the Ghandi quote--and hope it's still true.

    Lovely views at the brewery and the Ghandi quote brightened my still-dark morning!

    Apart from the migraine (blame the beer? It'd give me migraine) that looks like a lovely day out.

    That beer looks good. It's the color that I like! I feel sorry for those with migraines. They seem debilitating.

    Moderate sized beers seem like a soli idea.
