Yesterday, Nancy and I decided to take a little road trip.

Destination: River Falls Wisconsin

It was such a nice, sunny day, the perfect sort for a mini-escape.

We visited some of the local shops.

I bought some of my favorite  Moon over Madagascar tea at

Whole Earth Grocery.

Admired the beautiful bread at

Grateful Bread

and we had a yummy lunch at

The Dish and the Spoon Cafe

a bakery case full of tempting items…

and a whimsical little coffee-house dining room

The food is very good

and the coffee is amazing

I had the vanilla latte…

and a “build your own” sandwich…

turkey, roast beef, pepperjack, cukes, sprouts mayo, banana peppers,

lettuce and onions

on sourdough rye

with a steaming mug of cheesy broccoli soup

and coleslaw

way filling and way good!

Nancy had the quiche of the day ~ Tomato Basil

with a little salad, side of bread, and cup of tea…

yum!

After lunch we looked around the

Riverwalk Mercantile…

“Our motto is ‘about memories’; our store welcomes you to take a chance to step back in time to re-discover wonderful memories of your childhood and create ones with your children, friends and family.

I wanted to buy this…
