Ah, Springtime. The days are getting longer and hopefully warmer. In other parts of the South the trees are in full bloom and the Daffodils are up. But that's not here at the house. I went south towards the Atlanta are this past weekend to meet up with Richard. We spent Saturday at Stone Mountain Park and had a really good time.


We played a round of mini golf and I lost by three strokes. I tried to challenge him to play me a round of golf on a real course but he would not take the challenge.

We toured the Antebellum Plantation area and got to walk through some really old houses. This is a kitchen for a large plantation house. No Cuisinart! But they did have an apple peeler and a cherry pitter. Some things never change.

After we left Stone Mountain, Richard took me to the historic district of Norcross to get an ice cream cone. We found this neat little coffee shop/deli/cafe called 45 South Cafe. Every Saturday afternoon a group of men show up and have a jam session. They go around the circle and each man gets a chance to pick the song, play the lead guitar and sing. They were really good.

Now I am off to my kitchen to start the seeds for my Basil, Tomatoes, Sweet Peppers and Eggplant.
