A breezy, cooler day but we laughed when our phones notified us that Lee County was under a "cold weather advisory" - tomorrow, our high will be 61. Connor sent this pic of the snow in his backyard in Danville, IL. Yikes, much too early for the white stuff, but also hearing about the big accumulation further north.
We met Connie and Steve at the McGregor Cafe for breakfast - always good food (sat inside cause of the strong wind/temp) and a fun visit. Looking forward to seeing them in December.
Stopped at Publix and ordered a fruit tray to take to the Veteran's Day luncheon tomorrow. Then the post office and on home. So....while we were downtown, saw that Chocolatte Coffee is coming soon to First Street - this is a good one but it's a jaunt for us on the way to the beach. This new location is in a high-traffic area of many apartments (including a new one going up), so will be great for those downtown folks. Then we were excited to see the old Bennett's Coffee Roasters AND Donuts is being remodeled. We stopped and I got the nitty gritty....Bennett's which had thee BEST donuts was badly damaged from Ian and never reopened. It became a real eyesore with broken windows, weeds everywhere, etc. But a couple bought it and the remodel is underway. They hope to open soon and new name is "Bare Roots Coffee House". I talked to a nice gal who said there will be NO donuts, but healthier food like crepes and quiche and of course, coffee. We wish them the best!
Mark got a haircut with Jose and I had a raspberry mocha at Peter's. No matter how many new coffee shops open up (and they are getting more plentiful), Peter's is our favorite!!!
We walked later in the afternoon but so crazy windy!
Picked Jim up at 5 and off to Rib City (big favorite for all of us) - sooo yummy (ribs, cole slaw and BBQ beans). And then we shared a huge slice of coconut cream pie (oink oink)!!!
