| Nyree checking out the rings |
After days and days of rain, Saturday, August 25, 2012 blossomed into the most gorgeous of days = a cloudless, blue, blue sky with mild temps. And, what timing! My bestest friend from Columbia, Nyree, came down to visit for a couple of days before her refresher course on Sunday. We checked out the Farmers' Market in downtown Charleston at Marion Square. Entertainment, food, artisans and , yeah, some produce from farmers as well- haha! She found a beautiful ring, silver with an inlaid piece of broken pottery. And, such a surprise- the woman behind the table went to high school with Nyree! Talk about a small world. I purchased a garua plant- fingers crossed that it survives! Our birthdays are only 2 days apart, so we celebrated during her visit. Nyree had painted a tall, ceramic glass travelling mug at one of those places for me and besides cute little windows and a door on it were the words "Calvin's Artwork Emporium." I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Further proof that it WILL happen! My gift to Nyree was my friend, Puja Desai, who spent 2 hours with her aligning her chakras. Then that evening, we ventured over to Cork Neighborhood Bistro located on Montague Avenue in North Charleston for dinner. I had gotten one of those Living Social deals on line and it turned out to be very much worth it. We both had the pan-seared salmon- the BEST we've ever tasted , with the vegetables and some kind of tomatoey sauce. It was quite up-scale. And, the weather, continuing to cooperate, allowed us to dine al fresco. We had a fantastic time and underscored just how much I miss spending time with my friend. Wished she lived closer.......
