Just Another Friday

Some days you just have to do anything to get through the dull, dreary weather....today was one of those days...although we did see more sun than rain today.

Off to town early this morning to restock the wine cellar and food larder.

First stop....a visit with our friendly wine merchant, Msr. Thierry at Le Domaine des Vins.
Some wine and a special treat of chocolate covered nuts.



Second stop...the wonderful decor/gift shop... "Un Certain ... Regard" with our chair measurements in hand to inquire about fabric we had previously seen.
This fabric will be used to have cushions made for the Mission style chair that Monsieur Honey made a few years ago.
After some calculating and discussion, the order was placed and will be delivered in time for our departure.

While there, I in "Grandma mode" strolled through the children's room filled with wonderful stuffed bears and lambs ...to feel a little closer to her wonderful grandchildren back home ... a little homesick today.



Third stop... Drive thru Payrac, Loupiac and the surrounding countryside, here we saw yet another gariotte in the village square of Loupiac...this one I believe was recently built and definitely suitable for a fort or playhouse.




Fourth stop... Lunch at The Promenade





Fifth stop... The Supermarket for some grocery shopping.

Back home for a few hours, hoping the laundry would dry before the next rainfall...

Dinner this evening at La Central in Gourdon with a group of "Belgian Connection" friends ...fun night.

Dame Blanche for Madame M and the poached pear dessert with ice cream and chantilly that I had at lunch means walking will be on the menu tomorrow.

P.S.  we managed to fit in a fast paced walk today (Saturday afternoon).
