Country Lovin'

This past weekend included one of our favorite things. A trip to the country! Our friend and former roommate, DM, has a great home in Sharpsburg, Maryland. And what a lovely home! We have had the pleasure of visiting Sharpsburg and nearby Shepherdstown, WV for many years and each trip uncovers another sweet treat!

Last year we discovered Antietam Wine Bar and Cafe in Sharpsburg and Stone Soup Bistro, both places we visited again this year! The Wine Bar is treat for any wine lover. And Stone Soup is heaven for anyone interested in organic, locally grown produce.

On Saturday night we dined al fresco!

White linens, china, crystal, candles and our car!

Mmmm, Salad!

Perfectly grilled beef filet that we picked up at the butcher just that morning...seriously! I picked up several treats at the butcher that you'll be hearing about in the coming days. Baked potato and some asparagus with Bernaise Sauce. Ahhhhh!

Again, not to self...when I have a home, I must have a grill.

DM~~Thank you for a great weekend retreat!

Thank heaven for perfect weather to help make a perfect weekend.

We also had lunch at Antietam Cafe & Wine Bar for the first time, and that was tasty as well. Next time - dinner!

I love the dining al fresco....I couldn't tell if it was part of the restaurant experience or if you just tail-gated in luxury.
