The foyer - love the window seats!

Vacation is over...for awhile. We've just spent a lovely week of leisure pursuits, including a couple of nights at the
Simmons-Bond Inn, in Toccoa, Georgia (US). It's our favorite getaway spot - we wish we could go more often, but time is usually the deciding factor! Toccoa also has a great museum - one of the best I've ever seen - on the military. It covers the Revolutionary War through Afghanistan, with a fantastic (and huge) section on Easy Company (Band of Brothers), including one of the actual stables they called home while stationed in England!

We didn't get to visit with
Karrieann this time, but on the way back to Greenwood we stopped by Panera Bread in Anderson and had lunch with Marie Smith and her hubby, Rick. It was David's first time in a Panera Bread - now it's his new favorite! Wish we had one in Greenwood!
I've not tatted a whole lot lately - I did one 4-point star for the Starbursts class, in order to make some notes on how much thread is needed for the 4-point and each successive Starburst - determined that and passed it on to the Palmetto Tatters for test-tatting.

Sounds like a fun club!

Toccoa is a nice town - great place to visit, and we always hate to leave. The Simmons-Bond Inn is right there in town, so it's a very easy walk to restaurants and antique shops. They have a really nice used bookstore, where we found a few books we'd been hoping to find somewhere, and I noticed this sign on the way out. (In case it's too small to read easily, it says "The Toccoa Literary and Chicken Pot Pie Society: A Writer's Group of Book Lovers - New Members Welcome!"
What a lovely getaway you must have had in Toccoa. It sounds wonderful and my first thought after reading, "The Toccoa Literary and Chicken Pot Pie Society..." was 'Sign me up!'
ReplyDeleteIf I lived there, I would totally attend a meeting, just so I could say I had!
DeleteIt was wonderfully relaxing, and we can't wait to go again!
