August 12, Blue Monday on Thursday




What is better than watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and then going to one of the locations? That is how we started the day. Although I have never seen the show I thought it was the perfect way to start the day. Although I was slightly disappointed with the Hot Brown sandwich I was very happy to have eaten there and tried it. I also had my first Ale-8-One “A late one,” which was very yummy. I will definitely go back, but I’ll be ordering something else.

Now besides watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and then going to one of the locations, what is the best thing to do in the United States? That’s eat two lunches, and that’s exactly what we did. We only split the sandwich knowing we had reservations at The Glitz. The most fabulously girly restaurant I have ever been to in the basement of the most expensive antique store I have ever been to. Irish Acres Antique Store was almost just as girly as the restaurant and so fun. Just another reason I need to be very wealthy. Not to mention it was in the town of Nonesuch and the bathroom was beautiful.

Since we could not afford any antiques or need Christmas decorations we headed to a cute pink store and antique places in Versailles. No luck on the antiques but I was able to try, and love, an original Blue Monday. Yummy.

My friend lives between Versailles and Midway so it was now time to see Midway. Midway is this very small quant town of restaurants and shops. It reminded me of a smaller West Hartford with a train track going through it. Although the people were not stereotypical southern friendly, the stores were expensive, and we couldn’t find a postcard, I liked it.

While my friend observed a specialist at work I enjoyed the Ashland Park and Henry Clay Estates in downtown Lexington. Although I did not get to read any I did catch up on some journal writing and enjoyed the beautiful estates. A little later I was able to catch up on seeing Micki’s Alaska pictures and got to know a neighborhood in Lexington.
