It was Pi (3.14) day March 14, 2018.  Erica called and said, "Mom it is Pi day," and of course I thought she meant pie day, "let's go get some pie."  I said, "sure let's go!"  Of course, she made fun of me when I told her I thought it was pie, not pi.  In my defense, there is a National Pie Day which was Jan. 23rd I just had the wrong date:-) Where should we go to get a slice of pie?  We decided to check out The Pie Hole in Durham.   The Pie Hole in Durham NC.

Over the Falls is within walking distance of the downtown strip.  There you can find shops, more restaurants, and a brewery.  I would like to return and check...

Several months ago I was taking a solo adventure to visit Lake Lure.  After arriving, I wanted to enjoy my lunch on the lake, and I found just the place   Larkin's on the Lake .  What a lovely view!  It is also nice to know that time is not of great importance when visiting Lake Lure. You can choose to enjoy your meal inside or out, upstairs or down.  They have two menus on their site.  The downstairs and outdoor dinning menu called the Bay Front Bar and Grill and the upstairs menu titled Larkin's on the Lake .  I chose to eat outside so I could enjoy the cool breeze off the water and the beautiful view. So lovely to sit outside.  After a long drive, it was nice to have a cold glass of wine. This is what I ordered....delicious!
