Today was a really nice day. N and I met my parents for a tour of Cheekwood and a late lunch at the Loveless Cafe. We were celebrating my dad's birthday!
Cheekwood had several exhibits that we really enjoyed: a garden train, Buffalo Bill memorabilia and wild west artifacts, and holiday trees and decorations. We also saw a birds of prey lecture which was interesting...we even got to see a bald eagle and pet a screech owl. It was a beautiful day outside and we had a chance to enjoy it as we roamed through the Cheekwood gardens and grounds. Every exhibit had something special to offer to our day and we definitely appreciated it all!
After our morning filled with learning, we had to get something yummy to eat and the Loveless did not disappoint us. I had not been there in years; N had never been. We loved every bite of fluffy biscuits, crunchy fried chicken, and creamy corn that we had on our plates! It was a good meal and a good way to end a day of fellowship.
Breaking bread is an ancient tradition. When you have a meal with someone, you have time to talk, enjoy their company, savor the blessing of food that you've been given, and celebrate a day of life. I am so grateful that we had this nice day with my parents. N and I are lucky to have a strong, loving, healthy family in our lives. Take a moment to savor the people around you, break bread (or biscuits) with them, and tell them how they make your life feel like bliss!
