Back at the home front

 

Back home at my neighborhood Ingles Grocery Store.


A very busy restaurant in Black Mountain...especially with the tourists. That weekend many extra folks came to the LEAF music festival, so this was a great place to go for lunch. We just waited 25 minutes to get a table...a bit rare, but we didn't have any good options.

A little bowl of cooked spinach was my delightful side, while I ate a Kylie Klucken fried chicken sandwich...with swiss cheese and a touch of broiled onions. I was surprised how good the spinach tasted!


Cathy had a wonderful cob salad, and took some of it home too! (This pic is from another lunch we shared together.)

Bette joined everyone else in checking her texts and emails after lunch! She had a meatball sub for lunch with sweet potato fries.



Wonderful orange leaves on the maples outside my windows.

For the season of lights, I've draped some twinkle lights in the bedroom window. So this is how it looks now.

  1. Hello,
    I am sure the leaf peepers are out in full force. The trees are looking beautiful. The lunch sounds yummy, I like spinach.
    Take care, enjoy your day! Have a wonderful week!

    1. Today is due to rain, so many leaves will now fall. Glad you've got the beauty around you. I have always liked spinach cooked, which I have heard has better nutrients than raw. Have a good Sunday!

    1. Yes, we're not getting older, we're getting better. Maybe like wine?

    1. I sometimes feel closer to the dark, and don't plug them in. Other days, we need the light!
