Saw lots today about the opening of Cask & Larder, but haven’t heard from anyone who’s made it in yet. Is that you? I want a review! And, yes, I want one of those biscuits! Just stuff an extra in your purse or wrap in a napkin and I'll be right over.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised of late how many people from out of town have found me and are asking for Local information, suggestions, including a large touring group from Georgia. Funny how questions like “Where can we park a coach and then eat nearby?” get you to start thinking differently about the community in which you live! I forwarded some photos and facebook links and shortly later had a very happy Local business owner offering ideas for the group. And right here in the immediate area, have had some real successes bring business owners together at a time when there wasn’t much time to waste. Watch for one such business to be highlighted on the website and here tomorrow.
