Rebecca and I went out for lunch the other day for our “Juicy Lucy date”, which we’ve been planning for months. Juicy Lucy is a smoothie/sandwich shop that just opened in our town. Yes, the bustling metropolis of Harrismith has opened a new establishment! They have been announcing that it is “coming soon” for months and months, and Reba and I have been anticipating it eagerly. It was well worth the wait.
It is by far the nicest place in our town right now; AND they are working on making it an internet hot-spot – can it get any better than that?! Reba and I were bursting with excitement, and laughing at ourselves, the whole time we were there. I can guarantee we will be there pretty often…
Life in Harrismith is SO much better now than it was 8 years ago when I first arrived! Smoothies, tortillas (occasionally), and Philadelphia cream cheese can make such a difference! (Not necessarily consumed together!) It’s easy to find joy in the little things here in Africa.
Hey, that’s so cool. We also joke about Piet Retief being a metropolis, but we’re a couple of steps behind you- no Nando’s here, and no Juicy Lucy! Spur’s our spot. Have fun… ;)

Soooo…. eating cream cheese covered tortillas with a nice fresh smoothie isn’t normal? Sounds like a winner of an entree to me.

I must say I can sense the refreshment from here! The weather finally turned to spring here in MN, and just about anything that reminds one of warm weather sounds good. By the way, the html tag you inserted didn’t come out. You may have noticed that, though. Great hearing from you! By the way, thanks for visting my site so often and leaving comments. It’s always nice to know someone stopped by.

Mmmm… not sure about that meal combo, Nat.
Anneth - which link doesn’t work. The title name links to the Juicy Lucy site. The photo “link” is simply because I pasted it in from a website… I didn’t find a way to change the link to the real/regular Juicy Lucy site…
