Yesterday's rain stopped and the sun came out and it was Hot, Hot, Hot (and humid). So a nice drive in an air conditioned car seemed like the best plan.
We headed out to Parrsboro, along the Bay of Fundy. It's a nice drive and not too far, only an hour. We stopped at the little summer restaurant I like, right on the beach. A few months ago I blogged (well, whined) about them taking my scallop burger off the menu. And you know me, I have trouble letting go of disappointments...... We had one of my favorite waitresses today - she is usually there when we are, except for that last disappointing visit. After I gave her my order, naturally I had to whine about the missing scallop burger. (I know, I can't help myself) She says "Oh, do you want one?" My eyes dilated in excitement. "Really" I say, "Can I have one even though its not on the menu?" Sure, she says. I'll get you one. WOOHOO!!!
And yes, it was every bit as good as I remember.
Then we went to a great little shop in town - Sweet Briar Boutique. Joan, the owner always has a great selection of unique items. I get a fair amount of jewellry there and always get compliments on the pieces. She also stocks a nice selection of purses at very reasonable prices. My last visit I was looking for a spring purse and all they had were small ones. That's no good for me, I like a big bag you can dump a bunch of stuff in. So today I same more of the same. UNTIL.....I meandered into the back room. A day bed FULL of big beautiful leather bags. I found my new Fall bag
Then we cut across country and stopped into a little bakery in Oxford. The name is Grumpy's Bakery, and I have to say I think he lived up to his name - Just sayin'
But luckily he had just put some fresh blueberry pies out in the case. Blueberry pie made in the Blueberry Capital of the World.......How could you go wrong? It was so good, we had it for supper with ice cream. (Yes, we only had dessert for supper)
I'm so glad my friend Kim didn't tell me to eat healthy on vacation!! Tomorrow morning I think I'll check out the Sackville Farmers Market.
That pie looks delicious and now I am wondering what a scallop burger is. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am too, I am glad you are eating fun vacation food, the only trouble is I am too. I made blueberry pies yesterday and one has been calling my name all day, just a piece not the whole pie. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad today was a perfect day and you found the perfect purse. How wonderful is that? Was the guy really grumpy?
I can't wait to find out what you do tomorrow, I am enjoying your time off very much. :)
Hello, that sounds like suich a delightful day. Glad to hear you got your burger,yey!!!! And that purse, love it girlfrind. Also that pie just looks so yummy, I sure would like a piece. Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteOk....I go MIA for a bit again, come back, and you're on vacation again??? What? Do you work for the government??? Never mind....don't answer that. ;o) Yea for you!! LOVE the new bag...I'm a big bag gal myself (yikes - that doesn't sound good, does it???) - but I have to have strap handles to lug it on my shoulders (and make my arthritis even worse....) Good thing I'm not much of a pie crow....or you'd've had me there.... Scrolling down and catching up....turn your email notification off. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteOh, now I'm hungry!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a great day. May tomorrow be even better!
Hugs :)

Well, bless your soul you finally got your scallop burger, yes, I for one remember all the whining and carrying on! LOL. I hope you left that lovely waitress a bigggg fattttt tip! Love the new handbag, nice pockets, perfect for holding all those little things we usually lose track of. BLUEBERRY PIE, my all time favorite, sure looks yummy. Have a wonderful weekend, Julie.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is adorable!!! I want a new bag so bad I hate mine seriously hate it but I am so picky and frugal that I can not bring myself to buy another when this one isn't on its way out I just hate it did I tell you I hated it?? oh ok well then...on to the pie I LOVE pie!!
ReplyDeleteI love being an adult with no children left at home; if I want pie or ice cream (or even popcorn or a chocolate bar) for dinner there's no one to yell at me! Karmen
ReplyDeleteI love dessert for breakfast. After Thanksgiving that's all we eat for breakfast until all the pies are gone. The purse is good and big just the way I like them. Oh, didn't you know it's illegal to eat healthy on vacation. It's a law I believe.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an awesome vacation! Thanks for taking us along!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what excited me the most, here...the scallop burger or the pie with ice cream. Wowzer!! You're rockin' the staycation!
ReplyDeleteLove the bag and the pie! (and I love you only had pie for dinner!) I'm eating like I'm on vacation too..I only had homemade icecream for dinner. Now if I could just find an ocean around here I could claim vacation!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time letting stuff go too. And see what happened? You got your burger! :) Sorry I’m just now getting over here- I’ve had out of town company for the last 5 days! Thanks so much for letting me know where Tucker is! I wondered where that little scamp had gotten off to. LOL Doesn’t Patrice have some daughters with amazing talents?
