One of the great things about a small town is getting to know the people. Having a great dog like Tuck along to break the ice is a real plus.

We walked into town this morning to so some more exploring, take some pictures and have some coffee and some homemade muffins at Three Forks Bakery. While ordering, Claudia met the owner and had a nice chat. This lady has it going on....check out the pictures I added of the inside and you'll see what I mean. On a side street, we passed one of the better restaurants in town....and it just happens to be named Friar Tuck's....or as the locals call it, simply "Tucks". It's a really cute place with great food and a piano bar. I'll post some pictures of the inside at a later date. We're hoping since we have a dog with the same name, we'll get free food for the rest of our lives. Stay tuned.

The next stop was the winery tasting room. It was too early and not open (hey..it's always 5:00 somewhere in the world), but while we stood there taking some pictures, a really nice lady walked up to Claudia and introduced herself. Turns out...she's the owner of the winery. You know us....we've never met a stranger, so there we stood for the next hour talking about the town, her winery, politics, dogs (she has a labradoodle named Arlo who's the winery dog), real estate, etc. We couldn't have asked for a nicer introduction and we plan on giving her a lot of business.

We hope to hear back later today on a rental home we checked out last week. It's further out of town that we'd hoped, but it meets a lot of the requirements. Stay tuned and thanks for reading.

Cheers!
