Neighbor Joyce and I were texting about the weather and waited an hour for the light rain to stop. Because we all waited, Joyce was able to meet Charlotte and Sander.
Lise took Sander and Charlotte to Mast General Store in Waynesville, one of our favorite places to show guests. The wooden floor creaks, just like an old general store
As a gift to me, Charlotte prepared our dinner. She was the one who began assembling a meat and veggies for rice paper wraps during COVID in Denmark. Oh, my! What a treat!! Sander demonstrated how to build a wrap by dipping it in water, spreading a peanut sauce on it, adding crispy chicken bites made from scratch, and adding veggies. Charlotte had prepared yellow pepper strips, mung beans, avocado slices, mango pieces, cabbage, and shredded carrots. It was all beautifully presented. Their plates were neat, and mine was messy, but we all enjoyed every bite.
After dinner, the three of them went to a college basketball game in a nearby town. Sander loves sports, and Lise and Charlotte went with him for the experience. Lise put a video on my Aura frame as she sat in the bleachers. Daughter Kate and I enjoyed that part of their fun immediately.

We have an old general store like that in a small town near me. Going inside is like stepping back to the mid-50s.

I just posted a couple of pictures of a store near me. I wish I had taken more of the inside.

I miss those old stores. Bare wood floors and just about anything you need if you can find it.

I like those general stores – we had one in Trenton that we used to go to years ago, but it burned down … the fire spread quickly as everything was wooden. It reminded me of the store run by Sam Drucker on Petticoat Junction.
