Yesterday was my Mom's 74th Birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom!
I got to spend most of the day with my parents.
We went to lunch at one of my favorite little places, called South Store Café, which is located out in the country.
Check it out here.
We went to lunch at one of my favorite little places, called South Store Café, which is located out in the country.
Check it out here.
It's an adorable house, built over 100 years ago - "Opened around 1903 as a combination general store and meeting hall for the local chapter of the Independent Order of the Oddfellows." It has a bit of a rickety feeling to the place. It can be blamed on the Columbus Day Storm back in October of 1962. Winds of 100+ mph caused the house to never stand quite plum again. I think it just adds to the charm!
After lunch we went across the street to Smith Berry Barn. I just realized that I have been calling it 'Farm' instead of 'Barn' for some time now. Ha!
Anyway, it's family owned. They originally started out as a u-pick raspberry farm. They have expanded to a farm & garden market, with fresh berries & produce, along with an adorable gift shop. Oh, not to mention - milkshakes, ice cream, coffee & other gourmet items.
Overall it was a lovely day!
I hope you have many, many more Birthdays Mom!

Happy Birthday, Loretta! Looks like such of a fun, quaint kind of day! Love the pictures.
Happy Birthday to your sweet mom! Your mom and dad look so happy in that picture.
I have been wanting to go to that little cafe for a long time now! And I never knew that the Smith Berry Barn had so much stuff. I simply must go over there this weekend. It's only about 15 minutes from my house.

Shirley - It's a great little place. You would love it. So, next time you come out here we should go!
Dawn - You are absolutley right...my parents are VERY happy. They are so adorable together. My Mom acts like a teenager in love...it's very sweet. Have fun this weekend shopping & eating. You'll love the little gift shop. They have a lot of yummy smelling candles & cute kitchen items (right up your alley, girl). We should go there together sometime as well! You are so sweet. I want you to know how big of an encouragement you are to ME!
