Or maybe Axe Thrower hit the target a few times and it stuck. Interesting day. Let’s start at the beginning.

I woke up and headed off to take EC to her PT appointment. Easy peasy! While she was there, I went to the bank and then headed home so I could take a library book to the HWS library for her. It had come all the way from Dartmouth! Yay Inter Library Loan!!

Back at their homestead, I had a good talk with a person who has been really stepping up to help JC and EC out! I am relieved that they have such good people in their lives.

Dinner was planned to be pizza and wings, so I headed to Wegman’s to make that a reality. There I saw an acquaintance who I didn’t have in my phone, so he gave me his phone number. And he also gave me a dolmas to try. Not really sure what the difference between Dolmas and Dolmadas are. Ah, Dolmas are Turkish, Dolmades are the Greek version. Yummy whatever they are called. Oh, poo, I just realized that I forgot something on my shopping list. Why? Because I didn’t look at the list. It’s ok, I will pick it up another time. It is a dip I wanted to try. But I bought a lot of other crap food, so not having the dip isn’t a bad thing. I bought sweet potato chips. Dolmas. The pizza and some frozen chicken wings. And a box of novelty ice cream. So excited! I just wish I were hungry…I also bought a package of sushi because I wanted to. I haven’t had sushi in a while and it just appealed.

After lunch, it was off to Syracuse to meet up with a friend I hadn’t seen in 4 or 5 years. First stop, axe throwing. I had thrown my hand axe a few times over the years but didn’t really get any good at it. And I didn’t get much better over the course of half an hour at the axe throwing place. Neither of us were spectacular. It was an interesting place – they also had smashing rooms and paint splattering rooms. But it was not very well attended while we were there.

After a bit of that, we wandered around the little strip mall we were in. It is the same mall that has the Russian/Polish/Ukrainian (etc.) food stuffs place. I could drop a bundle there. If I didn’t already have way too much food in the house. Last stop in that mall was a huge thrift store that did not have a Brita pitcher in the style I am hoping to find. Poo.

My friend suggested we check out the Irish Fest that was being held a little way down the road. Not very well attended when we went. Actually, not a lot of anything. They had a couple of food trucks. And a beer place. A few vendors. Underwhelming imho. But I am glad we went. After we had done a circuit or two, we decided sitting and chatting would be a good thing.

We found a place called Cake Bar that was a patisserie and cafe combined. The desserts all looked great! We ended up sharing the rasperry/lemon tart pictured below. I think I have watched too many episodes of the British Bake-off as I was fairly critical of the dessert. The only thing that wasn’t good, was that the tart shell was way too hard! We could have used a knife to cut it! Still, it was tasty overall.

Tasty Treat!

After our cafe experience, we headed our separate ways. I hope that it isn’t 4 years before we hang out again! Anything is possible.

Now I am home, I have done Duolingo and dinner is cooking.

Augustus for President: My poor friend had to listen to me drone on and on about my political and presidential thoughts. It was very generous of her!
