 Finally today we didn’t drive all over the county. First thing this morning Rick went over to Precision Painting (it is just a couple of miles away) to check up on things and then after breakfast, we both went out. I, to the Bremen laundromat and Rick, to collect some things from the trailer which is still parked at the Travel Supreme parking lot in Wakarusa. Not having ready access to our Moho means we just pile up our laundry until there is enough to warrant a trip to a laundromat and do it all at once.When everything was done we decided to try a restaurant in Bremen that Brenda, our Scottish B & B hostess, has recommended, the Five Feathers. It is only open at lunch, Monday through Friday but they serve dinner by reservations only on Friday and Saturday. To look at the outside, it almost looks like a deserted bingo hall (the windows are tinted and it is hard to see in through them) but wow, what a treat inside! There is a small gourmet coffee bar and shop where one can buy some very cool spices as well as an assortment of gourmet cooking ingredients but there is also a lounge area and a modern, uncrowded dining room. They have no tangible menu (and it changes daily) but our server verbally described the three choices making them all sound incredibly good and hard to choose from. We both settled for the grilled sablefish served with fresh asparagus and couscous, all cooked to perfection, along with a small baby greens side salad. Wouldn’t you know it; we finally find a restaurant where the food is fabulous and healthy as we are approaching the end of our stay in the area. Needless to say, we have made reservations for Friday night and we learned that our table is ours for the entire evening so we are encouraged to linger and enjoy the cozy, quiet ambience of the establishment (I can hardly wait). After lunch we returned to the B & B and napped for much of the afternoon, a rare treat and long overdue; just nice because we could. Later Karley MSN messaged us and we had a webcam chat with her and Makai and Monet. We were finally able to see Monet walking and enjoyed chatting with Makai, reassuring him that we really ARE going to be there soon! I asked Karley to send me a recent picture of our precious little ones and she obliged. Is it any wonder we are anxious to get to BC?
