Lunch with the Ladies

The fun we had today: lunch at Marco Trattoria in Brevard. The church ladies from Cornerstone eat here together each month. (And we always call it "Marco's," just like we always call "Aldi," Aldi's." Why do we do that?)

It's a lovely, peaceful spot in an old(ish) home on a residential(ish) street.

This time we ate on the porch, and it was cool and pleasant -- in July!

Very pretty

My niece Hannah accompanied Mother and me. She's closest to the camera.

More friends:

Mother and I. We look like we're up to no good. She had a BLT, and I enjoyed their Cobb Salad.

The week's going well except for the unfortunate fact that I got sick Sunday morning with a bad head cold. I was hoping to be better by tonight, but, well ... not yet. Headache, cough, sore throat, congestion, blowing and sneezing. Ick. I don't feel so horrible that I have to be in bed; it's not the flu. But I'd recover sooner if I weren't on the run. My mother dear likes to keep me occupied when I visit, and she does a good job! Tomorrow: knitting group, then to town (if I'm up to it), church supper, and church service. Thursday: up on the Blueridge Parkway and lunch at Pisgah Inn. Friday: all day in town grocery (and other) shopping in preparation for the descent of the familial hoards that come this weekend. Eek! I'd better be well by then! What fun we will have, but how tired we will be!
