My plan is to keep things positive on my blog, but I have to confess that this week has been weird and my emotions have been all over the place.  Nevertheless, I am blessed and grateful, so I’m going to pick five favorites and focus on the good things.

Favorite # ONE

Lunch with Family

Last Sunday, my immediate family met for lunch to celebrate Richard.  September 15th marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life as he left his hometown and moved to South Carolina.  Richard will be managing a Maple Street Biscuit Company restaurant.  He is a smart and brave young man.  I’m proud of him!

To help send him off properly, we did what any red-blooded American family would do…

EAT!

We met at BurgerFi in Riverside, where I got to spend time with some of my favorite tiny people.  After we rearranged the restaurant to suit ourselves, we enjoyed burgers and had a fun time visiting together and watching videos of puppies and/or kitties on Glammy’s iPhone.And although one little girl had a hankering for a PB&J, I had a hankering for a burger.  I discovered that BurgerFi makes one of the best hamburgers I’ve ever had.

Favorite # TWO

The Hyppo Café

I never intended for this post to be all about eating, but since this was another first in my life, it should be documented.

My first Hyppo experience happened after lunch with family on Sunday.   At The Hyppo Café

there are Popsicle flavors beyond your wildest imagination. 

The Hyppo‘s Gourmet Ice Pops are delicious and even more so when dipped in chocolate.  LB chose the chocolate dipped strawberry cheesecake pop while I chose the chocolate dipped toasted coconut.

After the burgers and pops, LB took this photo to mark the eventful day.We love Richard and hope that eventually he’ll be moving back.

LB and I have been planning to replace our living room furniture.  While we were out Sunday, we decided to check out a couple of furniture stores in Orange Park.  It was on this day that LB found the furniture of his dreams.  With that, it would be time for another farewell.
