| Handsome Mr. Brodie!
Once in a while you have a day that is perfect in every way! Yesterday was one of those days!
My daughter, Amy, her neighbor, Ann, and I went to Appomattox, VA, to visit friends who relocated there two years ago. The weather was perfect so we drove with the top down on Ann's lovely convertible. There are lots of dairy farms in that part of our state. My daughter blew the horn to all the cows as we passed. Silly girl!
I'd say the highlight of the day was meeting our friends' new corgi boy, Brodie. They adopted him in June from a rescue organization. He looks like a teddy bear. This couple has one other corgi and this little guy has an awesome "forever home".
Appomattox is rich in history and is the site where Lee surrendered to Grant at the end of the Civil War. Our friend relocated to that area to be the director of a new Confederate museum that opened this past January. She took us on a personal guided tour and it was extremely interesting!
Of course, we managed to fit in some shopping at the antique shops in the charming little town. My daughter found the perfect dining table that she's been looking for several years! We came home last night tired and with lots of great memories!

Our neighbors in Los Angeles had corgis and one thing I remember about them is that they have the softest fur. I used to love to pet them when we met walking our dogs. It sounds like a perfect day and I'm sure your daughter must be so pleased with her table. Mr. Brodie is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a good day--The weather has been gorgeous hasn't it? But I've not visited Appomattox, but we have it on our list--Someday!!
