Fun Day Activities

Fun day started around 9:30 AM.  Mary had planned to get here at 10:30 AM, but she pulled in the driveway a full hour early and said she would have been here sooner, but ran into school buses taking kiddies to school.

We chatted for awhile and then I dressed and we headed to East Earl and Good's Store.  Mary had been to the one in Quarryville but not the East Earl store.  We wandered around the store, I bought some fabric and a jar for the bath salts we will be making in the Outer Banks.  Mary found some fabrics as well.

Hunger set in, so we went over to Shady Maple for the lunch buffet.  Yum!

From there, we headed to the new cheese/country store that just opened on Route 322.  It was lovely, full of cheeses in many varieties, ice cream, other yummy things like jams and crackers and the normal country store fare.  One of the things that were there was San Marco pastas.  Last night when I ate with Annette, she told me about the San Marco store.  They make the pasta in the store and sell it to restaurants and stores like the cheese shop. Annette told me where it was, so we left the cheese shop and headed to Downingtown.

San Marco is on Norwood Road (Route 282) and we pulled in the lot.  There is a tiny storefront with lots of variety.  Homemade pasta, spaghetti and noodles.  They had dried varieties and the frozen items, like raviolis, gnocchi, etc.  All kinds of oils and sauces in cans and a couple of loaves of homemade bread.  A couple of cheeses rounded out the store.  We each took a loaf of bread and some pastas to try.  We will go back there, no problem.  Annette says they supply the pasta to Anna & Rocco's in Parkesburg.  It is one of my favorite Italian Restaurants in the area.

Back to the house for some quilt book reading and just relaxing.

Trash day tomorrow, so later tonight will be some more sorting and purging.  Grocery tomorrow to get the makings for baked beans.
