Ended up going to Nonna Ristorante in Newark, DE for dinner tonight. Had a chicken with crabmeat and spinach in a garlic sauce. Very good.
As you walk in the door you will see several Best of Delaware awards. This is something new to us coming from Wisconsin. When we first got here, we would go out to eat and just pick a place. We would walk in the door and find out that once again, we happened upon a place that was voted Best of Delaware. We thought, boy, we were really lucky.
I talked to my hairdresser about it and she told me that it was a regional thing in the northern part of the state AND that Delaware was a small state. So now my husband says he only takes me to the best places. Nonna Ristorante was good in spite of the award.
So on the way home, we were going to stop at WalMart. I knew there was suppose to be one in Elkton, MD. So I typed in Walmart on my Garmin and off we went. I knew it shouldnt be too far, but of course it seemed like it was way out of the way.
We didnt make it to Walmart cause the roads had been closed due to some flooding. We drove in downtown Elkton a little and I was really impressed with the condition of the older homes. Plus the streets were clean -- and actually felt wide enough for two vehicles! Saw a few flags on the street lights saying the Arts are Alive in Elkton. Thought that it would be worth checking out sometime.
Didnt touch the new piece. Got started on retiling our fireplace surround. Using tumble marble tile and wood fireplace mantel parts from Lowes. Anxious to get this done --all the parts are sitting in the middle of the living room floor and if I move them, it wont get done. While I am not an organized person, there also is only so long that I would be able to just leave the mess without doing something about it.
I did find out from my muralist friend Kim Senior that I will need a sales permit and will have to report taxable and non taxable earnings quarterly. Arrggh. Think I will hold off applying for one til absolutely necessary.
