Shannon & baby quilt, Anne, Loree & Inez, lunch at the Greenway

Michael headed out to Triple A on Tuesday morning (9/25) to drop off the baby quilt for Shannon:

She loved the quilt, and went crazy over the soft back (I used fleece for the back).  I think she's due in early November, so I'm glad we got this to her in plenty of time.  Two baby quilts down, one to go  :~).

Inez & I had a relaxing morning on Tuesday before leaving around 10:30 to pick up Loree & Anne to head into Charlotte for lunch at the Greenway.  We were seated at our table:  

Anne

Loree

Inez

and given menus.  

We all ordered, then dug into the bread basket 

and slathered everything with the honey/chive butter (the honey is from their own beehives!)  

We started with soup, some had Manhattan Seafood Chowder 

and some had lentil: 

before our main course.  Loree & Inez had the pork:  

Anne had the scallops: 

while I had the chicken:  

Everything was excellent, but the chocolate layer cake with a cherry glaze in the middle and buttercream frosting was outstanding!  

One of the best parts of the lunch was as we left, we were given a jar of the honey they produce from their own hives:  

Once Inez and I were home again, I made up 2 loaves of cinnamon bread:  

It wasn’t the traditional bread where you roll out the dough and layer on butter and cinnamon and sugar, but another recipe where I put cinnamon chips in the batter.  We all had some when it came out of the oven and it was yummy.  

Anne came over at 6 PM for dinner and cards and we had a good time playing SCREWED, sometimes with money and sometimes not.  It was a wonderful evening and it’s been a terrific week with Inez, but it went by VERY quickly  :~(.
