It has been a lovely week and as vacation weeks go - - - it went by way too quickly! Kindermusik still met though so Benjamin's mom brought him into town so she could attend, too, and see how much he enjoys his class. We took turns interacting with him.
Bill usually comes home every day at lunch because I cook for us. However, after Kindermusik, we meet him at Captain D's near his work. I do NO frying of food at home so this is a 'treat'. Benjamin LOVES eating there - - - not just the fish and fries but really likes the cole slaw and steamed broccoli.
The next day I had some appointments in Chattanooga. Bill went with me so we could have lunch at Cheddar's. It was our first time eating there. We enjoyed it and plan to make a return trip or few.
On Friday, we went to Mercier Orchard with Amanda and Benjamin. It is always fun to go there. Merchandise is displayed in appealing ways so just walking through is a feast for the eyes. Of course there are many, many food items to buy as well as a sandwich/dessert restaurant if you are hungry before you leave. Pop Pop was great to wander the store with "The Boy" so Amanda and I could get the things on our list.
This was a display in progress.
With all that eating, exercise is definitely needed and Dolly is more than thrilled to lead the way. Do you like the color we picked for her collar and leash? I wanted something that a "girl" could pull off for fashion but didn't want it to be too feminine since Bill walks her at least half the time.
Enjoy your week. Most likely it will be at least next weekend before I can write again.

I do like the color of the leash! Sounds like a wonderful week you had; always nice to try out new restaurants and then to actually enjoy them!

Love Dolly's leash/collar.. Great color!!!!
Sounds like you had a wonderful week with family.. That orchard looks fabulous.. Reminded me of one we visited when visiting G's daughter and hubby in Buffalo... There was so much to see and do there... NEAT!!!
Looks like you have lost quite a bit of weight.. Bet it's all of that healthy eating.
Dad Adams used to love Captain D's.. We would take him there when we visited him. Bless his heart.

benjamin is so cute - love him on the tractor. i have a pic of me as a toddler on my dad's old tractor - always a fascination.

Loved your pictures and they made the trip come alive. Have a great new week ahead.
It sounds as if you had a wonderful Spring Break. Benjamin is growing up so fast. Dolly looks very stylish in her collar and leash.
Benjamin is growing so fast in to a big boy and so cute.
I do like Dolly's new color in her collar and leash.
Happy late 37th anniversary to you both.
Oh, Lynda, I so enjoyed this post and all the great photos - and of course the food talk!! Isn't it fun to find a new restaurant that you can look forward to going to again and again! Benjamin is growing up so fast, and gets even more adorable. Love the pup's new turquoise collar and leash!! Have a great week!
Wow. You packed a lot of fun into one week! Love all the photos. I'd say Benjamin is a lucky boy; having all of you doting over him…what a blessing!
Love Dolly's color, she wears it well. :)
What a great week. Dolly is looking quite chic. Like the color of her collar.
The leash is great! We should really try more new restaurants. Looks like you had lots of fun with Benjamin!
That tractor at Merciers was sold to them by my uncle - Coote Mason, Joyce's dad. I had my photo made with it the last time we were there. Those two men were great friends and made fortunes out of VERY humble beginnings. Fun success stories.
