My "whenever it feels like blooming" cactus has exploded in blossoms.
I'm not complaining.
The knee is healing very well. Physical therapist is impressed with my progress. I should transition to outpatient PT in the next two weeks.
Drove into Lexington with a friend this past Thursday and saw the Virginia Military Institute [<link] campus for the first time. Wow is really all I can say. It was impressive! I definitely want to go back when I can walk more because there were a few little shops we passed that need more browsing time.
Stopped for lunch at Foothill Momma's BBQ Juke Joint [<FB page link]. We both had the catfish platter, and it was delicious!
Next door to the restaurant was a local farm market with more apple "blends" (what exactly do you call them? breeds? strains? flavors?) than I knew existed. I might have bought one of each that I'd never heard of before and only wish I'd taken pictures of the names and descriptions because now I have an easy dozen apples I'll never be able to identify or find again. They didn't come with those little stickers that say "Gala," "Pink Lady," "Golden Delicious," or "Granny Smith" that I could put on the front of the refrigerator to remind me which one I liked best.
A random thought from left field last week while watching a vampire movie...
Why would you wear a white t-shirt to a vampire fight?
You know that vampire goo has got to stain like crazy, and if you are trying to make a broad daylight getaway, it is going to be a little bit hard to blend in with the normies if you are wearing a blood goo and gore-stained white shirt.
Clearly, I need to find something to do with my time because these out of the ballpark random thoughts are getting a little out of hand.
Sometimes all the random thoughts lead to interesting places, topics or ideas. They also lead to blog posts, which can be a good thing, like now.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to see if you gush over any of those apples. I know it will be hard to remember what they are but fresh picked apples? Yummm. Beats store bought that have been sitting around for months.
ReplyDeleteI tried one last night that was good and different at the same time. I should have taken pictures of the descriptions because they almost sounded like they were describing wine ... "honey flavored with a fruity nutty rose ..."
DeleteGranny Smith: bright Green; Golden Delicious: yellow; Pink Lady: pinkish red blush; Gala: usually striped red and yellow.
ReplyDeleteAlways wear black to a Vampire fight.
