I decided to celebrate Sarah Mitchell Day because it's Sarah's birthday. Since we're not together, I thought the next best thing was to do some "Sarah" stuff and then share my day with her...I hope she enjoys it as much as I did.
Here I am for a walk at the waterfront, obligatory Mayflower. That's not very Sarah but walking by the water is "wicked good".
I had a meeting to attend...so up Leyden Street...oldest street in America (I think that's what they claim), Sarah would know. Anyway, a little known fact, I once drove the wrong way down this street. Luckily, there were no Pilgrims marching up the street...it was an off day. They reenact the march up Leyden Street to the burial ground throughout the month of August. I know Sarah loves history, so that's part of my history and I know she likes to visit cemeteries. I, however, did not include that on my Sarah List.
OK, after attending a meeting, I was off again doing Sarah stuff...first to Borders to peruse some books and make a purchase or two.
Then, back downtown, to walk and make my way to Kiskadee Coffee, a place very similar to a popular Blacksburg coffee shop. I was in search of lunch and something sweet, maybe with red rasberries. I thought about going to Jubilee (pictured here), which is similar to Kiskadee but I wanted to walk a bit.
Here I am at Kiskadee. Unfortunately, I could only find a Spiced Pumpkin Latte, a panini and a cheesecake brownie. I think Sarah would have enjoyed it.
Here's the grub at Kiskadee. I sat in the window to enjoy the beautiful day in America's Hometown. I read the paper, called the birthday girl and made some other phone calls. The sandwich was delicious.
I really love the artwork at the shop. Here's my rendition of "Cod" in front of the original "Cod". After my jaunt downtown, I had to pick up the girls and make our way to dance (not soccer). We then met up with friends at 99 and had dinner. Happy Sarah Mitchell Day!
