Excursion to Black Mountain

Family

Six of us headed off to the town of Black Mountain, east of Asheville today on adventure. Upon arrival we headed immediately to a delightful lunch at The Verandah, then with happily full tummies three of us went shopping at the yarn store and three went browsing at the hardware store. After all that hard work of shopping we had to fortify ourselves with some ice cream before heading west again. Did stop for a little more shopping and rocking chair testing. Came home with materials for more knitting projects, materials for jewelry photography, and a new smaller version of the griddler, one of our favorite kitchen tools. It was a fun day. Finished it off with a couple of hours of the digging the garden project, a vicarious genealogy adventure, and a glass of wine.
