We woke Saturday morning to a beautiful sunny day. Linda and I went down to the gate to spread gravel that had been delivered and I finished mulching around the few bulbs that have started to poke through. Afterwards, we decided that we needed to shower, preferably with warm water in an indoor facility, so we packed up the truck and headed to Paradise Ridge. We washed several loads of laundry as we cleaned ourselves up. Doing laundry was like watching a pot boil, it seemed to take forever! By the time the last load was folded it was already 8:30 in the evening and we were starving. As the sun was setting we drove into Lewisburg hoping to try out one of the local eateries but to our disappointment everything in the small town closes by 9 p.m. Instead we had to settle for a chain restaurant.
For the second Sunday in a row we attended church at McMillion Methodist Church. It is a very small congregation but we really enjoy the people. Rev. Denver Till was there this Sunday (he is only there every other Sunday) and he delivered a wonderful sermon. After church we went to brunch in Lewisburg hoping to have better luck this go round, and we did. We ate at a fantastic place called "Stella's Tea House". It is fine dining inside a wonderfully restored 1800's Victorian house. The napkins were linen, the coffee was gourmet, and the food was to die for! Mom had the strawberry and rhubarb French toast and I had the crab and avocado eggs benedict. Words can't describe how delicious it truly was. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing and enjoying the lovely weather.
