Such a gorgeous day today. We took ourselves down to Ware Shoals, to enjoy the river park, and do some "exploring" along the way. We went in the Piggly Wiggly ... my hubby has spoken of them being all over the South when he was a lad. I'd seen places with Piggly Wiggly ads on their walls but until Ware Shoals hadn't seen a Piggly Wiggly store until a couple of weeks ago. Today, I made it in there and made an immediate friend with the young man restocking the Produce section, and we chatted awhile.
We'd already been by the river and seen the geese and ducks, so I wanted a loaf of bread to feed them, and enjoy them close up.
Across the river, on a rocky island, a kingfisher stood, almost disguised against the undergrowth on the bank.
The sound of the water bubbling over the rocks was very calming, so peaceful.
I made a new friend there, too. An older man, who knew the family groups of ducks, and was happy to chat and show me pictures of them when they were smaller.
We had lunch at a neat little Chinese buffet, China 1, on Main Street. It's directly opposite my friend, Connie McKee's, shop. I ended up chatting to one of 2 police offers who stopped in for lunch, he was limping. Turned out he is only 2 weeks post-op after having a knee replacement! Doing really good!
Coming home, we took a series of magical mystery tours, and our first saw a deer cross the road in front of us, then run alongside the road we turned up. That was beautiful.
I'd taken #AVONbrochures with me but ended up forgetting to put them out, as I'd intended to, outside the Piggle Wiggly.
It's been a lovely day. The only thing that marred it was that on the way home, my hip began acting up, and oh, I was in so much pain! Home now though, and lying on my bed with my legs stretched out. That has helped ease it some.
Hubby is now watching his NASCAR race, so I may just take a nap. Later, we have to go get groceries.
Enjoy your evening, my friends, and thanks for stopping by.
