This shows you the kind of work we do...talking about bulk buying of ethically produced goods...here the sunshine of S.'s shirt matches a roll of "Who Gives a Crap" tissue wrap. I think it's made of bamboo (the tissue.) After I try it I might go in for a small part of a bulk purchase.
Several of us decided it was a beautiful day and we'd replenish our calories with my favorite Mexican restaurant, Ole' Guacamoles.
And the Flat Creek flows on it's way to the Swannanoa River.
PS, I decided to go back to basic white background, whew, what a relief. And I couldn't wait till my birthday to take down my photo.

Not sure when it is, Happy Birthday Barbara. Th Mexican restaurant looks nice. Take care, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteNot till late August when I'll chalk up another birthday! Thanks for early wishes. It is fairly nice, expecially eating on that patio. In the rest of the areas they pipe loud Mexican music which makes it hard for us to hear each other.
DeleteWe use the Bamboo loo roll from Who Gives A Crap... lovely stuff!! Especially as
ReplyDeletePirate has bowel cancer and a tender rear...an Australian company, with ethical roots.
Wonderful to have your recommendation. We shall probably get up an order by our next meeting in August. How big an order do you usually put in?
Delete...thank goodness for shade.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to have simple respite from the sun? Wish everyone did, but those working out in fields don't have that relief.
DeleteI like the white background. Much easier for me to read and see the photos. I never heard of Who Gives A Crap tissue... a great name!
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad to be back to black on white too! Those horrible blocks of black background on comment replies was just too much for me. I'm planning to order some of that tissue.
DeleteLove to sit outside for meals. With all our rain we have had a hard time managing meals outside. Yesterday we had another 1/2 inch from a thunderstorm. We had 3 inches on Friday.
ReplyDeleteOh my, so wet there. But we're all in for the heat soon, coming off the middle of the country.
DeleteI do love that quote. I am stealing it.
ReplyDeleteFine...the author isn't myself, so I have no claim to it. It does speak to these times, doesn't it?
DeleteThe Mexican restaurant looking inviting. Nice that the tables are in the shade. Never heard of Who gives a crap tissues. We have recycled tissues here at Aldi's that we buy.
ReplyDeleteOh I haven't checked out the ones at Aldi's. Somehow I haven't shopped there in ages. Wonder why... I do like these tables that aren't enclosed where the music is played so loudly!
DeleteA lovely setting.
ReplyDeleteIt is, and I don't know why it wasn't among the 14 best restaurants in Black Mountain (chosen by whom?)
DeleteThanks for highlighting an ethical choice for a daily necessity.
ReplyDeleteAnd my friend Bette who's compiling this list ordered it, and it comes without any plastic in the shipping as well.
