2016/July/03 - Brown Farms

Although neither Sweetie nor Grump slept well, we were all up early, determined as we were to arrive at church services on time today.

Grump had an interesting breakfast of cereal and fruits:

Grump's Breakfast

Despite appearances, it was very tasty!

We actually have lots of yummy fruits to munch on at the moment:





Back home after church services, (which we had arrived to ON TIME - hooray!), we just lay about the house, wasting time.

Eventually the boys got bored and restless, so Sweetie decided it was time to GO SOMEWHERE.  As we couldn't think of any place better to go, we decided to drive to the farm market on route 49 north of Montezuma, Georgia.  It's about an hour from our house, so it made a nice drive.

It wasn't long before Kuya was asleep:

On route 49, just north of Marshallville you pass an imposing building.  This is apparently a headquarters of the American Camellia Society, and is situated on the Massee Lane Gardens.

 
We didn't tour the gardens; it was way too friggin' hot, and we were on our way to get some more peach ice cream.  But the gardens do look interesting.  Maybe next spring we'll stop by?

Finally we arrived at the William Brown Farm Market.  Just like Pearson's, they have fresh from the tree peaches.  They also have some other locally grown fruits and veggies, and the absolute BEST peach ice cream of any place around here.

Of course we just had to have some of that delicious peach ice cream!






Kuya didn't like the ice cream, because it had "lumps" in it.  (Bits of yummy peaches, actually.)  Dodong was enjoying his ice cream until he noticed that Kuya wasn't eating any, at which point he decided he didn't like it either.

Silly boys!


For dinner we went to the local Longhorn Steakhouse so Sweetie could order one of their fabulous hamburgers, to make up for the cruddy hamburger she got Friday at FOJ.  Her hamburger, (and Lola's baby back ribs), was yummy and delicious, so dinner was a resounding success.

Despite appearances, Kuya enjoyed his food
