T Stands for Going to Lunch

 Hi everyone. I hope everyone had a nice week. My week was nice, with some days out and some days at home. We had some rain, some sunshine, some beautiful temperatures and some steamy weather too. Luckily Hurricane Henri totally fizzled by the time it reached us in New Hampshire, and all we had was rain. I hope anyone else in the storm zone didn't have any serious weather.

 This may not make the most interesting T day post I've ever written or you've ever read, but it was certainly not a week to be bored with the weather or  life, that's for certain.

Since this is my post for Tuesday, it is time for T at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog .

Last week I actually went out to lunch 3 times. The first time I stopped at a Chick-fil-a fast food drive through after visiting my mother who lives 2+ hours away in an assisted living back in my hometown. I didn't get any photos because I just wanted to grab a cold drink and some food so I could eat while I started the drive home. 

I also had to go to Portsmouth (New Hampshire) one day to get my allergy shots. I  ran a couple of errands and then met my husband for lunch as he works in town. Right down the road from his office is a place called Paddy's, and they have a really nice outdoor seating area. We weren't the only people there so I felt uncomfortable taking photos of the area, but for T day, I did get a shot of our unsweetened ice teas. You can just make out the umbrellas from the other tables as well as their outdoor bar in the background.

Unfortunately I forget to take a photo of the salad I had for lunch, but I hope you believe me when I say it was delicious.

On my last day out I met up with my friend Deb. I haven't seen her for awhile, and we decided to go walk the Wolfeboro Rail Trail.  We were  busy catching up so that before we knew it we had walked 5.5 miles or about 8.85 km.

Here's a couple photos of the rail trail. This one has 3 really good things going for it. It is flat in an area that is not flat; it has a couple of places with bathrooms; and it is a pretty place to walk.

People have also made donations for these granite benches. We didn't use any, but I like the dedication (to their parents)  quote on this one.

And here's just a couple of views on our walk. I've shown you other photos in  the past with other views, but I thought these were pretty.

For the last 5 years, Deb and I have a tradition of going out once a summer for hot fudge sundaes. We hadn't done that yet this year, and she goes back to school teaching this Wednesday, so if we were going to do it, we needed to do it.

After our walk we visited Johnson's, the only restaurant in my town. They have a take out window with outdoor seating, but since it was hot and there were no tables in the shade, we asked if we could sit inside and order our sundaes at a table. Since it wasn't very crowded, they said we could.

 

This was the most unhealthy of lunches, but it did taste very delicious.  Plus it is fun to have these traditions.  I can't remember when I last had a sundae. When I got home I was hot, tired and felt like I had eaten too much sugar, so I spent the rest of afternoon lounging on my hammock.  That was a pretty good way to end the day also.

I have one more T day reference here also, and that is the glasses of water we had with out sundaes.

Don't forget to stop by Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to see what all the lovely ladies have been up to.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a fantastic week.
