Sundays ...

   I've decided that Sundays are going to be more rest and less "work," other than what must be done.  This morning, Charlie and I ran an errand, then came home to fix lunch.  The weather was too hot by then for Charlie to go on any other adventures, so I left him at home and ran another errand before I decided to do a walkabout at The Greenbrier Resort.

  My photo on the left, and a postcard on the right.  The sky was overcast and I wasn't sure if the beauty of the place would really shine.  We are forecast to have rain and thunderstorms all week, which I'm looking forward to.

  The inside was just gorgeous, tho I kept hearing Robin Leach's voice from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous reminding me that I have champagne wishes, caviar dreams, and a cheap beer budget.


  There were painted murals on several of the lobby walls that depicted scenes from America's early history, and ties to The Greenbrier's presidential past and history.

  I did buy a calendar for next year, but only because it had some amazing-sounding recipes in it that I can't wait to try.  Especially the crusted trout filet!  There are several restaurants at the resort, and I think I will make it a goal to eat at all of them at least once.  Special occasions.  Like Sundays ...

    1. Fortunately, of their 20 "dining options" there are only six that I would be inclined to eat at since I'm no longer interested in bar food, golfing is not my swing, and people would be blinded should I appear in suit at a pool. One of the six is in the casino, an Asian inspired restaurant, and would require an overnight stay at the hotel to access the casino ... I'm thinking my 60th birthday next year would be the occasion.

  2. I think reserving Sunday for rest is a wonderful idea.
