One Foggy November Weekend

What time is it? It's about time that mommy and I post a long-overdue update! Let's get down to business, shall we?

Mommy's feeling great now that things have slowed down to a more manageable pace. In the fall, mommy was feeling stressed because there was so much going on. Daddy, always the one with the best ideas, suggested going to North Carolina for Thanksgiving weekend. Yippee!

On Thanksgiving day, we set off for some exploring. Now, everyone is gifted in their own unique way. I, for one, am gifted in finding sweet treats and other such yummy things. So, of course, I managed to find an ice cream shack on our way to a waterfall.


It's too bad it wasn't open. I guess people don't want ice cream with their turkey. Despite that, we still took some pictures. Mommy and I especially liked the ice cream string lights. They're so charming and nostalgic!


Then we headed back to the house to relax a bit before dinner. We played some Scrabble, but the game was short because daddy really isn't much of a Scrabble fan.

Why you ask? Well... Even with cute little me in my House of Pinku dress for good luck, daddy seems to have the worst luck with his tiles. We decided to have our Scrabble moment be Picture 48/365 for the 365 Days Blythe Project.


Here's the point at which he decided it was time for dinner (and no more Scrabble)! Hee hee.


I didn't argue... After all, I love food and we had soooo much so much of it! It was a bountiful feast of Tofurkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn bread, corn, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. Yummy!


On the day after Thanksgiving, we woke up to find deer in the yard. We were amazed at how close they came to the house. They were so pretty!


Zeldy really liked them a lot and insisted on feeding them some corn.


And then we went antiquing, a favorite activity of mom and dad's. Mommy took Picture 49/365 for the 365 Days Blythe Project to remember the fun that we had together.

Me: La la la... Off we go...


Mommy: Molli what do you have there?

Me: Why my nifty Someofmyorange purse of course!

Mommy: I see that. But what do you have in it?


Me: An extra pair of clean underwear, of course.


Mommy: Why do you have underwear in there? And where is your money?

Me: Silly mommy, everyone knows that you should always be prepared with an extra pair of clean underwear. Plus, you're paying for the furniture and stuff! I save my money for cupcakes.

Mommy: Only you, Molli... *sigh* Only you...

After all that antiquing, we worked up a fantastic appetite and headed to downtown Asheville for some yummy eats. We usually go to Laughing Seed Cafe, but thought it would be fun to try something new.

Maita's friend Jennifer recommended Tupelo Honey Cafe and I must say that we all enjoyed it immensely. The grit cakes are AWESOME!


And, as with any vacation, it all had to come to an end. On our way home, we stopped for one last picture with some cute cows on the side of the road. Moo!


Farewell, North Carolina... We will be back very soon!
