Yesterday I went to Roswell with Mom. She's been working hard, along with members of her Magnolia Sampler Guild, to put on their show. It's a lovely and large display of pieces, most of them samplers, of all kinds. Mom had several beautiful items on display. And there were samplers there over two hundred years old, which is pretty amazing.
The display was held at Bulloch Hall, which is the childhood home of Mittie Bulloch, Theodore Roosevelt's mother. The home was built in 1839 and is a museum now.
Afterwards it was lunch at "Relish," a good place for fun Southern food and a few healthy things, too. We were quite modest and stuck to salads, though we did indulge in some Sweet Potato Fries! Other menu items of southern note: Grits and shrimp, sour cream cornbread, black-eyed peas, spiced pecans, and fried green tomatoes! Yum!

I would have indulged on sour cream cornbread, black-eyed peas, spiced pecans and fried green tomatoes...then eaten Cheerios for my next 9 meals :)
Yep, that's the way to go!
She worked very hard on that exhibit and I know she did it with great joy because she appreciates the work and talent of stitching such lovely things. Glad you could enjoy a "southern" lunch out. I would have gone for the sour cream cornbread and black-eyed peas with maybe fresh tomatoes but not fried.
