Really, I’m not a slacker. It was just a busy Sunday.<\/p>\n
My Faithful Reader and I went to Brimfield for the antique fair and to hang out with K—, who happened to be in the area. We had lunch at the fair. I had a Pilgrim Sandwich (turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing on a sub roll—yum!). Many of the antique dealers packed up early, which was sad, but there were still enough of them around to keep us busy for a few hours. I was tempted by some sweet potato ocarinas, a golden dragon pendant, an art-deco butterfly dish, and a Tom Swift book. I was horrified by a lamp, the base of which was made from the legs and hooves of some long-dead animal.<\/p>\n
When we’d had enough wandering among the tents-of-many-treasures, we said goodbye to K— and headed to Sturbridge to check out the Hyland Orchard & Brewery. We walked through the petting zoo, paid our respects to the geese and goats, and petted the emu. Then we took a seat in the picnic area and enjoyed one of the brewery offerings, an amber ale, which was decent. It was a nice place and I’d be willing to go again, especially as the weather gets cooler and I start thinking about apple pie.<\/p>\n
The drive home went quickly. Once home, we filled our bellies with dinner while watching Journey to the Bottom of the Sea<\/em>. Barbara Eden was in the movie but she didn’t grant my wish that it be good. Then I bought a new computer (Happy Birthday to me!). Suddenly it was midnight and Sunday became Monday. It was too late for storytelling. Oops.<\/p>\n I will make up for it next week with two story posts, so come back Sunday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Really, I’m not a slacker.
