Daughter Lise and I drove to Charlotte to visit grandson Nathaniel. When we asked about his new job, he showed us the work shirt he wears. His last job evaporated when the restaurant closed all units except the original site in Texas.
When Lise showed interest in barbecue, he took us to one of the nearest restaurants that features it.
Lise heard him talking about Lowe’s Foods and requested a field trip. I took a shot of them just inside the entrance, where specials for the month were on a huge blackboard.
We made our way to the community table where a young man was on duty to give out samples. He had the gift of gab and kept us entertained as he made a parfait of yogurt, maple syrup, frozen raspberries, Graham cracker crumbs, and several other ingredients. It was tangy and refreshing. Lise took my photo, and this shows the size of it. None of us would call it a sample, as it became our dessert for the day.
Nate talked about buying herbs there, and this is the garden with the plants. You cut as much as you want and put it in a plastic bag. It’s a marvelous service, but I suspect it would be too expensive to draw me in.

Here is another of those fabulous days in your life. It reminds me (and I think others) of simple pleasures, connection, and family. Just today I saw something about Lowe’s foods, and was left wondering where they are. Regardless, it is always a pleasure to share part of your day.
