Quest- “a search or pursuit made in order to find or obtain something.”
Always on the lookout for a quest, I decided I would try to visit as many independent bookstores as possible when I started this blog.
In early July, my husband Chuck and I made a trip to Clifton, Texas about an hour from our home. After a delicious lunch at the Corner Drug Cafe we headed down to Ladybugs to check out their merchandise. From there we crossed the street to Tolstoys & Co. Bookshop.
We had a pleasant visit with the owner who filled us in on a little local history. She recommended The Maid as a possible book I might enjoy reading. ( I might have confessed to her that I was struggling to find fiction lately that was new and different.)
Her shop was cozy, and inviting and looked like a perfect place to spend a little time out of the hot sun.
After leaving we traveled down the road to Valley Mills Vineyard. We had been told it resembled a Tuscan winery, and it the view certainly didn’t disappoint.
Our trip to Clifton was a fun way to celebrate my birthday, and our anniversary. I highly recommend checking out the bookstore along with the town.
