Local Ohhhh

Our beloved Blue Ridge Ice Creams is closed for the month of January. Accordingly after the rigors of school* we headed to the nearby Mayberry instead, where this was the result when the youngest casually mentioned to the waitress that he really, really likes "those sticks that go in the ice cream".

* the oldest had a four hour Algebra I midterm today. Holy mindboggle.

All (well, some) about Esbee (a.k.a. Lucy Cash)

I live in Winston-Salem with my husband and our two boys, ages thirteen and nine, whom I affectionately refer to here as "the oldest" and "the youngest". My late father was a native of this city, and my late mother was a graduate of Salem College. After they married, they moved to Washington, DC, where I grew up, was married, and started my own family. Seven years ago, I dragged them south and introduced them to backyard muscadines, the Dixie Classic Fair, and Moravian sugarcakes. They promptly declared Winston-Salem "home". Please feel free to contact me via email.
