I had a great time at my parents' in Chipley, FL and traveled back to Navarre, FL today. I spent most of my time with my Mom, as Dad was taking care of some "bidness". Mom and I went into Chipley one day (our family's old property is around 10 miles south of Chipley). We went to an antique store where Mom picked up a sweet "brown betty" aka every day teapot like the English use for tea. Mom is really into the proper way of making tea ever since a real live English lady threw a tea for the Chipley garden club. Mom now makes scones occasionally, drinks her tea from china, and only buys her tea at World Market. The "brown betty" was a dandy addition to tea time. PG Tips tea is delicious, I'll have to agree. We also ate at KC Pizza Grill in Chipley. The old Wells FRM store has been turned into a warehouse style restaurant. Excellent stromboli and calzone sampled. VERY good roasted tomato marinara sauce to boot.
Coming home today I was driving along I10 when my dome light came on, and the light on the dash signaled that one of my doors was open. Suspecting the famed ghostly man with the hook we all heard about at childhood campfires, I pulled off to get a good look. As it was daylight, he was not anywhere to be found, but my driver side, backseat door was ajar which I opened and slammed shut. While unloading my car I noted that one of my flip flops was missing, the ones I really like that sis Joy picked up for me in Hawaii. So, now I know how one shoe ends up on the road. Didn't y'all always wonder why there was only one shoe along the side of the road. The scary man with the hook hand takes them.
Lots of pictures to follow from visit to Granny's (old family property).
Pleasant night to all.
