Breakfast with friends

  

Open Oven is a locally owned bakery on Church St. just off  State Sreet in Black Mountain. 

At  9:30 am the other morning it was comfortable to sit outside to eat our breakfast goodies.  

We enjoyed chatting together, since we'd been busy with various illnesses and family things for weeks. Our conversation was interrupted by the nearby Methodist Church's quarter hour chimes. But at 11 I went over to the Lakeview Center to try to do a few exercises in Sit-R-Cise. I quit about halfway through. But felt pretty good about it.

Lunch was pork roast, sweet potato, biscuit and spinach greens. I brought home the baked sweet potato to warm up for another meal later in the week.

Summary of the Tailgate Sales Aug. 3: I sold the biggest bowl and a small mug. Genevieve sold earrings and one of her rice cushions for hot/cold compresses. Amelia had no sales. For all the work of setting up tent, tables, pottery...someone asked did we make enough sales? Nope. It's the experience of seeing the rest of the community there. At least for me. I did spend a half hour in the air conditioned car, but it never got above the 70s this morning, very comfortable! I just started to cough, so decided that a time out would help. It did!

Sunday morning Note: After a night of coughing about every half hour, I'm awake and ready to greet the day.

Peace, like most beautiful things, begins small.

A lunch date!!

 Going out to lunch today (Thurs) with a good friend who I haven't spent much time with for one reason or another. It will be good to catch up. And photos will follow...

My friend on right, and another of her friends who I just met on left...who had a dog so was happy to sit outside.

Husband of my friend's friend, and just look at that VW!

Open Oven is a nice lunch spot...indoor or outdoor seating, and a bit of a crowd today! It was just 81 or so outside.  They are constructing a bar upstairs as an outdoor balcony kind of place.

Half of the grilled cheese sandwiches, which I had with a salad on the side. Lots of cheddar! Tomorrow I'll have to eat nothing but veggies! Cheese is frowned upon by the Plant Based food people. Just think of all that fat! Oops. But there wasn't much else available without meat.
