Fun Day & A New Friend??

Zelda Fitzgerald died in a mental hospital fire in Asheville.  I read an historic fiction book about the Highland Hospital and the fire.  The main building was destroyed, but the campus remains and the building was rebuilt.   Turns out it's walkable from my house.

Duke and I set out -- mistake taking Duke though.  Busy road, he wanted to run and was a general butt-head, but we got there.  Almost 6 miles roundtrip as it turns out.  Longer than I thought.  

Was it worth it to walk there?  Probably not.  But, I found a walking river trail and DID SOMETHING I WANTED TO DO.  Just like a visit to South Asheville -- making an effort for me.

The afternoon was finishing cleaning and antique shopping with my neighbor.  We shopped for over 2 hours at The Screen Door.  The only place I didn't want to visit on my store list, but it was fantastic.  It's hit or miss, but this time it was a hit.

Turns out we have a lot in common.  Occasion vegans who will never be completely vegan, but aspire to get close.  Plant lovers -- heading to a recommended plant store today to look for a Pony Tail Palm because it can go weeks without water.  Maybe a new Asheville friend??  (Plant and neighbor lol)

Goodies are wrapped up, but pictures to come -- everything is for GA (only a few things).

Heading out around lunchtime today.  Have a good day.  Later gators.
