February 15th Tuesday - Sunny, Cloudless Day, 35 degrees Lou and I had an early appointment to have our taxes prepared and we had planned to meet Preston and Susie for lunch at a designated place that is about half way between both of our homes; however, our appointment was much longer than we had estimated and we were not able to leave Mansfield until 1:00 pm, so by the time we arrived for lunch we only had about 25 minutes to chat with them until they had to leave for home, as they had made arrangements, to take a friend to an oral surgeon. It was a quick "hello" and "goodbye", but always great to see them even if for a short time.
You can see from the pictures, the restaurant we chose was an interesting place and the table that Preston and Susie had chosen was under a plane which Lou admired. We had a blazing fire to enjoy and the surroundings were also very enjoyable making our lunch very special.
After our of grilled chicken salad with strawberry cheesecake, Lou and I drove to the Woolrich Store and had a wonderful time looking around and really came away feeling like we had a tour through time remembering when we all wore the original "Woolrich" coats that were made right here in Pennsylvania from Pennsylvania grown wool. Some of the wool that I grew from our Suffolk sheep was bought by Woolrich and was woven into fabric and sown into clothing right here in Pennsylvania. Now I understand the sewing is all done in China. All in all it was a wonderful day to travel and certainly was a nice day to do something different. A day enjoyed by all of us.
