Today has been a pretty great day. Hubby and I decided to "do something different" to our usual "let's go somewhere" days when he's not working, and we decided to start by indulging ourselves. We headed down to Cherrydale, to the Yoghurt Mountain down there and I had some yogurt and fruit that tasted so good. I did tiny portions of the triple chocolate, the tropical, and the strawberry , and then added strawberry pieces and took the plunge on 4 maraschino cherries. Did I need them? No, but did I enjoy them? Oh yes! It felt good to treat myself.
Our next stop was Paris Mountain State Park, where we sat awhile and looked at the water. I wish they had some kind of disabled access down to the beach-y area, as all I can do is sit up by the building and watch people playing in the water. It'd be nice to be down there close, and be able to listen to the gentle lapping of the water against the wooden pylons. Sitting up by the wall though, web were privy to the comings and goings of a tiny, maybe 6" long, striped lizard, who alternately sunned for a few minutes, and then clambered into cracks in the rocks, only to resurface again a few moments later.
From there we went to Traveler's Rest, to Carolina Bee Supply, where Mark will be attending a beginners bee keeping class, later this month. We were both a bit peckish so stopped at the Burger King, and again, I indulged, this time with a plain cheeseburger and small fries with no salt. Gotta splurge sometimes, and it def hit the spot.
Carolina Bee Supply was interesting and I ended up getting a nice bristle door mat, from there, for my front porch. We also found out that the first day of Mark's class is indoors and all theory and the second is hands-on and outside with the bees. His dad had bees when he was young and he used to like to sit and watch them, hence why we decided to get him some bees next Spring, so's he also has a "peaceful spot" to relax in.
It's been really nice. The only thing marring it was the craziness of the drivers. I know it's Friday but it's almost as if some of them don't want to ever make it home again. How some don't crash is a miracle in itself. We are now just vegging out and watching a tv programme on trains, home sweet home for the rest of the day.
