Local explorations

Today my mother  and I went exploring again, but this time instead of heading out of town, we decided to re-explore our own hometown. We hit up the vintage, the consignment, the gift, and the artisan shops all over town, concluding in a delicious burger at the neighborhood "gourmet burger joint". Who knew that our town held so many treasures?

Unfortunately, two things happened (well, one happened and one rather didn't happen). Firstly, I slammed my own finger into the car door, which though not broken, required a rather grisly procedure at the urgent care center (so you see, we really got all of the local experience today!). Well that was a bit of a damper on the day. And secondly, I took almost no pictures, so I am a terrible blogger today. A true blogger ought to have her camera snap-ready at all times. But the lovely, albeit adventurous and partially traumatic, morning was supplemented by a good book, a lovely cuppa, and a sunset squat with the family. So now, I'm off to sleep away the throbbing of my finger and dream of all the chocolate birthday cake that I shouldn't have eaten (but did) this weekend. Any way, I hope you'll forgive me and all of my typos today as I hack this post out one-handedly.

Burgers on salad?? Yummy!
