Our Bakery Closed!!!

Sad news today when we went out for our Saturday Morning family ritual....a ritual we've had since Jeremy and I were first married. We love to go on Saturdays and have breakfast at this super awesome little european bakery called Rocky Creek Bakehouse. They have yummy coffee, pastries, rolls, muffins, and amazing fresh baked bread. As soon as you walk into the old stone and brick building with tall ceilings and wooden rafters, you are immediately transported to another place and time as the aromas of freshly baked bread and coffee fill the air. It is such a wonderful escape from everything normal...where you can sit and chat over a couple mugs of coffee and cinnamon rolls or chocolate filled croissants (my favorite.) We've gone since before we were even pregnant with Walker and we've taken him since he was itty bitty...and by now he even has grown to love it! We pulled in the drive this morning only to find an empty parking lot and a totally empty building! We've known for awhile that the couple who own it have wanted to just get out of the business after doing it for almost 15 years, but when we were there just last week there was no mention of the close being immediate. We were so disappointed! Guess we'll have to find a new place for Saturday mornings! Here are a few pictures of memories at Rocky Creek!

We don't have any recent pics of Walker there, but as you can see...this place has been a favorite for some time. So farewell delicious bakery...we will miss you and all the yummy memories we made because of you!

Those are great rituals to have and glad for your memories there.

While Deb and I have four kids, we still try to make a ritual of getting away at least twice a month for just the two of us. Even after 16 years of marriage, or is it 17, we still try to make an effort to get out and date each other.

Great pictures all around.

Keep going guys.

WHAT!!!! I leave for a couple of months and y'all let this travesty happen?!?!?!? I guess it's true what they say about the US going to hell in a hand basket.
