One of my besties Brenda and her husband Mario from Atlanta spent the weekend with us here in Blue Ridge, GA. Their pup Loddy also stayed with us, she was a perfect doggy house guest.
Brenda joined my monthly bunco group on Friday night for a potluck dinner, a few rounds of bunco, some laughs, and of course lots of wine and chocolate. Mario and my sweetie Chuck went into town for dinner and a few adult beverages of their own at Treo.
On Saturday Brenda and I worked most of the day in my Metal Clay studio, creating jewelry. We used Fast Fire Bronze; I did not like it much. I think I will stay with the Goldie Bronze brand for future classes.
Saturday night we went to a new restaurant "The Flying Trout" in Blairsville, a town about 11 miles from Blue Ridge. The food was very good, but the service was awful. It seemed they were understaffed for the large crowd people. The restaurant was previously a biker bar and some of the regulars from the past were still fixtures at the bar. It was a fun mix of people: aging bikers, city folks up for the weekend, lake people, and locals like us. We will definitely give it another try in the near future.
Today (Sunday) Brenda and Mario made breakfast for us and we finished up the Metal Clay projects. Our friends headed back to ATL and our cats came out from hiding. I think Buddy and Ghost were ready to get the house back from the the furry invader Loddy the dog.
It was a great weekend with friends!
Cheers!
Lori in Blue Ridge, GA
