Today has been a lazy post Christmas day and the boyfriend and I ventured out for a while to the Charlotttesville downtown mall and wandered among the numerous people window shopping and looking for shopping bargains. We had lunch at an interesting landmark of sorts - Timberlake Pharmacy (pictured above in 1918 - it looks largely the same today) which opened in 1890 and is still in business, including it's soda fountain and and deli area complete with wood burning fireplace. The food was good and it was like a time warp of sorts. As always, Charlottesville and the Blue Ridge Mountains (pictured below) to the west of town are beautiful.*
The boyfriend purchased a wonderful feather boa for one of our more glamous friends - she has style and can carry off what lesser woman could never do - and he bought us some books before we ventured back to my mother's place. All in all it has been a relaxing visit so far and it is nice spending time with my mother whom has been totally charmed by the boyfriend. But then, he is charming and a very sweet man. Yes, he reads this blog, but I'm not out to flatter him. He is the real deal and he makes me very happy - even if Rick Warren equates our relationship with incest and pedophilia.
