We had a lazy morning at the house. I walked down to our new organic grocery store, Weaver St Market, to get some more of that terrific sourdough sandwich bread that I love for peanut butter sandwiches. While I was there, I got some pastries for Beth and Henry to have for breakfast. I bought one pecan sticky bun and one cinnamon bun for them to share. The walk was so nice-cooler and less humid than the last few days with a slight breeze. It felt good to get out and especially good to have walked for my groceries.
One of the things I particularly enjoy about living where we do is that I can walk to so many things. I can walk to the post office, a french bakery, a pharmacy, a coffee shop, an old style hardware store, Weaver St market, locopops, Mathews chocolate shop, a bookstore, the library, parks and rec where we took yoga, and a historic plantation home with a mulched trail that sidles the Eno River. What a treat! Walking and seeing all the old buildings, the shops, and the beautiful flowering trees has been such good therapy for me every morning.
We joined an old friend from Charleston, who happens to work with Holly, for lunch. We met Beth (the friend not my sister) at the Blue Corn cafe and caught up on old times. We used to all be in the same youth group at church and spent alot of time together since our parents were pals. She has been in Durham for 15 yrs. Small world. Amazing how little she had changed from her High School persona-still funny, irreverent, tall and thin. I'm pretty sure I look different from how she remembers me-bald head and all (see the photo).
After lunch, Beth (my sister), Henry and I toured the Duke gardens and campus. So we still ended up at Duke even on a non-clinic day. It was very pretty though.
