A Weekend Back in Lewisburg

If you follow me on facebook, you may have noticed the scattered photos of various adorable animals and sunsets and delicious food.

The reasoning behind this? I actually had Labor Day (and Friday) off, so I figured I’d spend my long weekend back in Lewisburg and take Linda out for an early birthday celebration since I couldn’t be around for her actual birthday!

I’d planned on leaving Thursday evening after my shift, but as luck would have it, everything that could go wrong with every patient I picked up went wrong–it took hours for specialists to call me back, for labs to be drawn, etc. I ended up getting home about 4 hours after my shift should have ended, so I decided to sleep a little before journeying onward.

I made a pit stop at a beautiful waterfall along the way (the post for that is scheduled to be published in uh, June of next year…but you can check out my other travels in the meantime!? <3). Here’s a sneak peek before I waded over to sit off the edge of it!

I was greeted by Lady, who decided I made a great pillow and basically made it so I couldn’t move from where I lay on the floor.

(I missed you too, Lady! <3)

When I finally managed to extract myself from the floor, I went to go visit everyone else! Remember when I posted about life on the farm? Look how big Pantaloon has gotten! (Is that not the best/most fitting name ever?)

Happy to report that everyone missed me just as much as I missed them! I was decorated in cats for pats while I cleaned litter boxes.

When Linda came back, we went to our favorite restaurant in town–Fujiyama–and I was greeted at the door by a super happy and excited Daris (our favorite server there), who gave me a huge hug and seated us immediately.

Dinner was delicious (as always) and Daris brought out a fried banana dessert for us to celebrate! It was apparently also the manager’s birthday as well as two other patrons’ birthdays, so he came out singing, “Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us…”

I spent the evening chilling on the floor with these adorably awesome dogs (as per usual) and catching up with Linda. :]

A chronological turn of events.

The next day, I went to church to visit everyone and they made sure I stayed for the delicious potluck afterward. (After all these years, they’re definitely well aware of me and my love for food.) It was awesome to get to see them all again!

I’ve really missed the gorgeous sunsets and just all-around wilderness in West Virginia. Yes, it does often feel like you’re living in the middle of nowhere, but being able to look up at the night sky and not be able to even count all the stars in the sky? Absolutely priceless. Makes me wish I had some experience with astrophotography, because it was a beautiful sight to behold and I’d love to be able to capture it! <3

After we took care of the cats in the barn on Sunday, I spent the rest of the day working on stuff with Dora in my lap. :]

We also had lots of delicious indoor food adventures/kitchen experiments, most of which will be showing up on the blog at some point this year, so stay tuned! <3

Also came across the realization that I could totally be a meme…

That’s a ginormous grouper tacoritto I’m holding, just in case you’re wondering!

• What did you do over the weekend?
