Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

My Father's Pizza

 Cathy and I walked around Lake Tomahawk, and stopped for many photos and rests. We hadn't tried walking around it for several weeks...so it was quite a challenge for us.

I'll post those photos elsewhere, except must give an intro to the first photos we took.

I don't think we talked very loudly, but we weren't completely silent, so...

They walked away while we walked in the other direction. I tried not to focus on the water fowl, who were either Mallards or Canada Geese.


Having accomplished our walk, we were really thirsty and hungry!


Great Bruschetta with lots of garlic flavor! I admit to not having tried it at every restaurant which serves it, but of the 3 I have tried in town, this is my favorite!

As we ate our salads, and rehydrated with lime water, we had a view of the open air pottery store across the walkway. Nice trees also.



Today's quote:

Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience.

-Walter Lippmann, journalist (23 Sep 1889-1974)

    ...as I age, a bench is a welcomed sight indeed.

      OK, now I see my site has the "new and much more visible" comments version. Yay for benches!

      And all with an iPhone...I don't know why real photographers even look at my site...but it's a kind of journal I'd say. Have a great Tues.

    You seem to have very many nice spots in which to pause for a lunch.

      That's the advantage of being a tourist town, near and even bigger tourist town of Asheville. People from out of town don't want to fix their own food...so we have everything from breakfast places to a few upscale dinner places (where I don't usually visit.) The lunch crowd is more to my pocket book.

    Good bruschetta is a gourmet treat. And your looks really good! I too like it when the garlic really announces its presence.

      I love garlic too...and this must be to my taste, because the little toasts are soaked with garlic oil...and so're the tomatoes.
