Floyd and I have a fondness for what we call a 'tiny town tour' date. All to rarely we find a town, and hit it up for a date. Some popular spots have been Tryon, NC; Landrum, SC; Hendersonville, NC; Dalonega, GA; Highlands, NC; etc. Saturday we drove over to Brevard, NC for a lovely TTT date. The munchkins were with their Granddad & KK.
We rode through the blue ridge mountains into Brevard, and enjoyed piddling in and out of the Antique Mall, O.P. Taylor's, art galleries and nick-knack shops. We knew that The Co-ed Theatre had a showing at 7 o'clock, so we grabbed an early dinner at the Jordan's Street Cafe. The food and atmosphere were perfect. We sat on the back patio, and sipped wine, enjoyed brie, and devoured our amazing entrees.
After the movie - the co-ed theatre is so charming - I convinced Floyd to enjoy a Coke Float with me. Hard to believe he'd NEVER had a float. We sat in the car during the thunderstorm and enjoyed our treat and listened to the music of Josh Ritter's latest album, "So Runs the World Away" which has an ethereal quality that absolutely perfected our moment.
I love dates with him. I love new experiences and making memories. I am grateful that we still have such a ball together after many years together.
