We left home at 10am this morningto drive an hour south for lunch, so no breakfast. The Chili $4.50 at Black Bear Bistro was the best I've ever had in my life. Bar None. Mr. SV agreed it was the best he's ever had in his life as well. 
My Shepherds Pie topped with House Chips and Vegan Cheese – $9.95 Is that a House Chip in my Shepherds Pie or is it just happy to see me?
Mr. SV had the Sloppy Joe $7.95. Superb! A fantastic meal was had by all. The restaurant is planning to add more vegan and raw food items to the menu, so prepare to see more from this great establishment in the future.
Ingrid suggested I try spicing up the blog with critter pics, so I spent a half hour in the barn this afternoon trying to accomplish this task. Below is Marmalade Umlaut before she ran to hide... This is Buttercup. She had a litter of kittens and then her human family kept the kittens and turned her into the local shelter cuz she wasn't friendly enough. She has been in our barn a couple years and I find her to be just the right amount of friendly. Just don't touch her head.
Here is Buttercup looking out the screen window at the beautiful spring day.
Of course, Donovan was most cooperative in posing. He's becoming a such a huge boy. So gentle and loving. I couldn't get Jasper or Mystique to come out of hiding. Once they hear the camera, they get scared (like me) and disappear.
Yesterday I enjoyed the best Bread I've ever had in my life and today I enjoyed the best Chili I've ever had in my life. If only this weekend didn't have to end.
