I was up early and went out to the dining area to allow Ralph to catch up on his sleep. I'm enjoying a book entitled "A man called OVE" which I brought along with me to read. We had watched the movie with Tom Hanks entitled "A Man called Otto". It was a Christmas present from Laura and Jay. It's humorous to read. Ralph showed up around 7:30 and we enjoyed a nice breakfast together.
It was still raining although not as bad as yesterday. We decided to go check out the Outlet Mall in Mebane. They were having Boxing Day Sales and we picked up a few awesome deals. Both of us were pretty happy.
We then headed to a small town called Seagrove. They specialize in pottery. At first Ralph wasn't too sure that he wanted to go because basic pottery doesn't do much to excite him. We were really glad we went though as there are many Pottery Artisans there and their work is amazing and so beautiful. We highly recommend that if you are in the area, you make a visit there to see for yourselves. I have included a few photos to give you an idea of some of the work that we saw.
While we were at "Pottery by Frank Need", we had a close call. As we were getting ready to leave, we had delayed driving out to rearrange some stuff in the back of our truck when we heard this loud "crack" and a large branch (circumference about 10-12 inches) fell down onto the driveway that we would have been driving on. We walked over and pulled it out of the way being very thankful that it didn't hit us or anyone else for that matter.
We finished off our day with dinner at "Black Powder Smokehouse". We enjoyed brisket and pulled chicken along with some savoury sides. They sure pour a "large" glass of wine lol. The food was delicious and pretty inexpensive. Another casual but nice place to visit.
All in all it was a nice day.
