Saturday, even though there was stuff I should be doing, I went shopping (sales! massive sales!). I didn't get much- just a summer bathrobe. But still, it was fun.
Sunday was the Second Annual Castle Farm Schooling Show. I scored dressage tests and judged the stadium jumping and cross-country, as well as scoring combined tests and eventing. I put my 45 sunblock on in the morning, but should have reapplied. Little bit of sunburn on the neck.
That night, I drove down to Sanford to meet MW for dinner (we both had busy weekends, and he was all, "Let's meet halfway for dinner on Sunday." Brilliant.) (Of course, the restaurant I picked (based upon what was clearly the worst web search ever) was non-existent. There was another one in its place, but it was closed.) MW had passed some other restaurants on the way, so we went to the Sagebrush Steakhouse. I recognized the road it was on- I had driven down it to meet him for our first date. (That time? There was a cub scout providing music in the parking lot. This time? Not so much. He's slipping.)
Anyway, I did get to see more of Sanford, which is a nice little town, with excellent buildings downtown. Also houses like this. NC has many of these little bungalows, and I love them. (Oh, and yes, I would take down all the wallpaper. And replace that red countertop. And I am totally putting rocking chairs on the front porch. Of the house I am not buying.)
