Yesterday I felt like getting out of the house. Having been sick since May 2, I’d only made short trips for necessities, including two visits to convenient care medical facilities. I’m still not 100%, but if I ever want to get stronger I have to venture forth.
A Tallahassee neighborhood was having its community garage sale, so I drove to the east side of town and enjoyed the beautiful Florida weather while buying only a couple of items. Most of the merchandise on sale was baby related, and I have no need for strollers or play pens. Thank goodness.
I still had money in my pocket when I left the neighborhood, so I took myself to lunch at Backwoods Crossing, a farm to table restaurant. I’d driven past the place a couple of times before, but never at a meal time.
The interior of the restaurant is pleasant.
I was there early, so I had my pick of tables. The menu had lots of appetizing choices. Unfortunately, I’m limited in what I can eat right now. I settled on a grilled chicken breast with an apple glaze. It was tasty. I’d have loved to have the side of mashed sweet potatoes, but was afraid they’d have too much fiber for my delicate system. Never thought this hot salsa guzzling girl would have to settle for the bland side of things. Hopefully, this, too shall pass. No pun intended.
After my lunch I strolled into their outdoor seating area and garden. Much of the food they serve comes straight from this beautiful garden.
Items they don’t grow or raise directly on property are purchased from local farms. It’s a sweet setup.
I look forward to returning when my digestive issues are straightened out. Fingers crossed that happens soon! As for Studly Doright, he’s recovering from back surgery like a champ. He drove over and had lunch with his golf buddies today. It’ll be another three months before he can take the game up again, but he enjoyed swapping tales with his friends. Life is slowly getting back to normal.
Peace, people.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Glad you are recovering, loved the garden center and your photography, be well Solitaire 🌱

I like that you took yourself out to a nice restaurant. I often had to dine solo when I was on a business trip, but seldom do that now that I’m retired, usually opting for quick-fast food when I’m alone. Perhaps I should reconsider that choice.

I love to dine by myself. I also used to travel a great deal for business and learned to like it. Now, my husband travels fairly often and I eat out when he’s gone. I even go to the movies solo.

Good to see that you’re on the mend. You’ve been sick for so long!
It’s absolutely fabulous to see restaurants producing their own food! That’s a business model I could support.
