My Special Lunch Date

I wanted to share with you a special date I had this week, with of course my #1 and only love, David. Since we are new to "Bama Land" its been fun to explore all the new territory. I have such admiration for the old sort of Victorian houses with Southern porch styles. We happened upon this and discovered it was a new restaurant that has been opened for a couple of weeks. I love, love being back in the South, where its a given that your tea is SWEET, and so I got to introduce to David the wonderful appetizer of "Fried Green Tomatoes". They were so good, and it brought back memories of days of my youth. We had a lovely time, and was also shown a part of the house that hasn't quite opened yet. It was joined to a old fashioned train car. We look forward to going back. As I tell you every time, you have a open invitation to come for a visit. Have a great good Friday!

i'm so late in catching up with you, my friend! i'm sorry... life here has been hectic to say the least!
i love the idea of a date in a place like this!!! the south just knows how to do everything! from buildings to landscapes to food to drinks... you name it, but the south is simply the best no matter how you look at it!
how sweet that you and david got to enjoy a nice romantic date! i love dates almost as much as i love the south! LOL
those FGT look divine!!!!! i don't remember the last time i had one! :-(
i'm VERY happy that many of our 'ole yankee' restaurants are now offering sweet tea (though you DO have to request it)! it makes the south not seem so far away...
keep your eye out, cause you never know when a 'band of hoosiers' will wind up in your driveway!
LY! xoxoxo
