Heart To Heart

Disclaimer:  This is not intended as a restaurant review.  (I reviewed a VRBO home experience - giving it a 3 star rating - and was threatened with a lawsuit by the owner.  This is not a review, it's an observation..) DW and I went to Ashland for lunch yesterday.  Not a big deal to some, but a very big deal to me.  We don't get a lot of time alone together these days so a date day is crazy fun for me. We chose to eat at a place that has unique, fresh menu items.  We were given a "creekside table" - yay!  (The hostess even said, "creekside table" with a "you're so lucky" attitude!)  Doesn't that sound great?

THE BIGGER PURPOSE - to tell time.   Yes, the bridge is beautiful, but I've watched people walk alon...
