Adventure

Today we went to Harrodsburg to check out a store and meet up with someone. The store is Angel's Touch, 224 North College Street, Harrodsburg, KY 40330, (859) 733-0003, and it was well worth the drive, as they had quite a nice herb collection, incense, books, curios, and jewelry. I bought some lavender oil, a piece of jet (it's very hard to find these days), and a small amethyst crystal point wrapped in silver wire. The prices were very reasonable, much less than I've seen at other places, and of course, it was all in one place. In Lexington, you have to hunt at various stores for the same sort of things, especially places like Sqecial Media (pronounced 'skeshl'--note there's no 'u'), Joseph-Beth (which sadly seems to be deteriorating in terms of quality and breadth of collection) or Barnes and Noble, and Good Foods Co-op. I don't know of a metaphysical store in town that has it all like Angel's Touch. (If anyone does, let me know!)

There was a piece of quartz on sale for $40 that I really wish I could have gotten. It had rainbows of light within it, was double pointed, and fit very nicely in my palm.

We met several of the locals and went out to eat with them at Nancy's an Italian restaurant with excellent vegetarian lasagna. After saying goodbye, we travelled through Danville and over to Stanford, where my mom lives, for a little while. Then we came on home. That was an adventure in itself, of which I'll blog later. Let's just say it may be awhile before we take any more field trips.

It was a beautiful day for a drive, and it was nice to get out of the city for awhile. It was nice to be off work on a Saturday, too. That's rare these days. Well, that's pretty much it. Hope you are having a good weekend.
