Lunch and Monet

I took one of my granddaughters out to lunch yesterday for her birthday (a little early). We went to a cafe in one of the local art museums and ate outside in the sunshine, a perfect day. She and her husband just had a whirlwind week in Paris and London, and she was full of stories. The purpose of the trip was to attend the Jaguars/Bills game in London and they made a nice trip out of it. She brought me back some French macarons and some postcards (which I collect). The macarons were delicious with coffee, yes, "were", all of them .

Then, after lunch, we drove down to the Fall Festival at Micanopy. It was packed with cars lined up on the sides of 441, the dual highway leading to the little town of around a 1,000 people (the town where Doc Hollywood with Michael J. Fox was filmed). Vendors' tents flanked both sides of the main street as far as the eye could see. We walked and walked and had a great time. On the way home we stopped at the Payne's Prairie overlook and it was beautiful, yellow flowers blooming under a blue sky with puffy white clouds, a Monet in real life.

until next time...c
