Welcome Kittens & Dawgs! Earlier in the summer we made a day trip to Boone, North Carolina and on our way, we found The Coffee Company on Google Maps in Elizabethton, Tennessee that had fresh baked goods; one thing in particularly tempting DH’s taste buds were the cinnamon rolls.
While there they had their annual Covered Bridge Celebration going on but we were unable to find suitable parking to snap a few pictures. We did see it but it wasn’t worth the struggle to secure a spot then walk forever to get back to it risking life, limb, and a sunburn but we vowed to go back. That opportunity came in late July.
On that visit, we went back to The Coffee Company. This time we got their coffee which was fantastic. I think we had their daily blend but I don’t know what it was now, except it was a medium roast. By the way, they roast their own beans which they also sell. If I had to rate it on the one try, then I’d say it’s better than Starbuck’s. However, we want to give them another try to see if our opinion remains the same. Unfortunately, they did not have the jazzy lemon bar so we tried their regular lemon bar but it wasn’t as good as the jazzy version. Maybe, we’ll have better luck next time.
Afterward, we walked to the Doe River Covered Bridge.
In the early millennium 2001-2003, we were heading home from Boone going toward Elizabethton and DH thought it would be cool to show the covered bridge to the kids. I was excited, too. It was either dusk or dark. We had a cell phone but navigation software wasn’t very good and network coverage was purrty spotty. The program indicated that we were near it but we couldn’t find it. In fact, the place it was showing us on the map was actually a couple blocks away from its true location. 🙂
There for a while, I rolled Wednesday Hodgepodge in with my mid-week post but I think I’ll continue to sit that one out until I get some of the cobwebs swept away in my brain. Blogging is a fun outlet but when I get to too weighted down with it then the joy is lost and I don’t want to be another blogger to drop out altogether.
