Birthday Outing

About three years ago I told my son I didn't want any more presents for my birthday. Instead, I wanted to spend a day with him. We usually pick a town or city, walk around, visit shops, any Art Museums or Galleries, talk about anything, everything and nothing. We generally have a wonderful relaxing day. Yesterday was our day, and it was great!We started at Lyndell's a bakery, where we bought a mini cheesecake and some cannolis. Then we moved across the street to Soundbites for a terrific breakfast. We had a wonderful fruit bowl and Eggs Benedict. My son had his straight up, I ordered mine with asparagus and tomato.Then it was out to Russo's, a market I can only describe as food heaven. Packed with the freshest of fresh vegetables, a cheese counter to die for, a bakery, a deli and fresh flowers, I was wowed! We bought some yellow and red grape tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, cauliflower, black figs, and a baguette. Had I known I'd be shopping on food heaven on Sunday, I would not have bothered to shop for produce with my usual groceries on Saturday!! We used all the ingredients in our dinner last night.

The day wasn't over. We drove out to my favorite quilt shop, Quilted Threads. I went in looking for some black and white fabric... and came out with one yard cuts of each of these. Obviously I changed my mind! I love these fabrics, and ... yes, they will be in a quilt together!
