My mother's visit so far has been great: yesterday a brewery tour at Ommegang, the highlight of which was definitely their restaurant. It was a bit of a drive from Overcast, but it was a great day for a drive, and we stopped at this (ridiculously over-priced) barn full of antiques arranged into little rooms with creepy mannequins posed in all the rooms.
Today was a visit to the local arboretum, where all the crab apple trees were in bloom, picnic under the apple trees, and then antiques. The crab apples were just at their peak, and the arboretum has a whole hillside covered in them, so we had a good workout climbing the path-less hill to find the perfect place to sit for lunch.
At the antique store, a local place which is a little more of a jumble shop and has very reasonable prices, some very foolish decisions were made. I'm going to do a full post on my poor decision making tomorrow, but to give you a hint, here's a photo of one of the foolish choices:
what a lovely picture of the two of you! and oh my, what is that?!
