Frank's At The Old Mill

How I spent my Saturday...
This past Saturday, my daughter, grandson and I drove to meet my son for
a belated birthday luncheon at Frank's at The Old Mill.
Can you tell that I am really concentrating on keeping my eyes open?
Yeah, I am notorious for closing my eyes at photo time.
The restaurant has changed times several times over the years. Once a Southern
fish fry place, next a steak place that on its best day was so-so.
The Old Mill was vacant for several years until a stroke of
luck brought Frank's to relocate from Palmetto, Georgia.

The location of the Old Mill is a perfect spot to relax, breathe in the
wild life and drift away by the soothing sound of the water flowing over the damn.
I think this mamma deserves a reality show of her own! She has
10 babies!

We managed to pass on the desserts, but it was very hard to resist.
For lunch, our table ordered a variety of menu items, ranging from Turkey Rueben
to a Rueben Wellington.
The Greek salads were fresh and oh, so yummy!

Jack couldn't wait to go out on the deck to feed the ducks.



As soon as you exit from your car, you can't help but acknowledging the
fresh herbs throughout the parking lot and lining the lake.
Fresh basil and thyme...I love that aroma!
Not the use of natural bamboo in the garden. Love the natural look.

Overall, this was a lovely experience.
I will most definitely return to sample their evening menu.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
