Sugar Magnolias
Rick and I finally were able to get o to Sugar Magnolias for lunch on Wednesday. Wonderful space, great service and delicious food. So nice to have Sugar Mags back.
Rick had the Tuna Melt with pasta salad, and I had the Dion Chicken salad with fresh fruit. Both dishes were wonderful. Thank you Sugar Magnolia for being back on Main Street.

Ice Cream For Dinner
We had ice cream for dinner recently at White Farms Ice Cream on Essex Ave. Having ice cream for dinner now and again is good for the soul. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
