Rainy day exploring

We need to do laundry and to find a place with WIFI (small town libraries are a good bet for this) for some planning.  The nearby burg of Kent seems to have them both.  It is a lovely curly rural drive including a few miles on Kent Hollow Road.  The streets of Kent are lined with great old houses and lots of coffee houses, restaurants, art galleries and other cute shops.  It looks like a fun place to visit another time.  We have things to do today.  The laundry isn’t quite where Beatrice, our trusty garmin, indicates but we manage to find it; bonus, they have WIFI so we can kill two birds with one stone!  We dawdle over the chores just long enough to justify lunch out.

We randomly select Wilsons Bakery and Café.  It is a cute place with local roast coffee, sweets and a wide range of sandwiches from turkey on white to the portabella on za’atar sourdough. That’s what I had.  Kent went for the Cuban.  We found a table in the midst of things and very much enjoyed the people watching as we munched.   It is a comfortable place to hang out.  Next time I will use their WIFI…it comes with coffee!  We grab a loaf of the sourdough and a couple desserts to go.

Hurray, the rain stopped.  We are going to have a campfire.  Long pants, fleece and a roaring fire and it is perfect for enjoying a quiet evening.  The night sky is darker than expected here in the east.  We can even see a bit of a streak of the milky way.  It is a lovely way to end a great day.  No s’mores though.  We need to get marshmallows.
