What a great way to end the week! Spirit Family Reunion returned to Saxapahaw to play the beautiful Haw River Ballroom. You may remember these guys from this June post when they played at The Eddy.
I will be the first to admit that I’m not a frequenter of concerts. I certainly don’t qualify as a music connoisseur. Heck, I hardly even turn on the radio. But there is something about these guys that resonates with me. Some extra sparkle that I can’t put my finger on but I feel it when I watch them play. It feels like they are having a great time together and you want to be a part of it.
Dark Water Rising opened the show and we enjoyed their gorgeous melodies pouring out of the open doors and onto the outdoor deck of the Haw River Ballroom.
Many of our Saxapahaw friends started wandering in and stopped by to chat. We event saw a few Burlington folks. That really is the magic of Saxapahaw. These friendships, camaraderie and sense of family are fostered within the community. Call me crazy but it made me smile when I saw that my hand was stamped SXPHW at the door.
About this time I realized I was hungry. We had an amazing lunch (watch for an upcoming post about some gorgeous paella) but unlike many of the appreciative guests this afternoon, I restrained myself from going back for seconds and thirds. Which meant my tummy was beginning to growl. I thought about a quick trip to Sax Gen or The Eddy but that would mean missing out on the music. I was soon delighted to find that Cup 22 (the ballrooms in-house coffee shop) was offering some quiche.
I was even more delighted when I took a bite. I’ll be honest, I was just wanting some food to tide me over and wasn’t expecting much. I mean, it’s quiche…. wow. This is pretty good. Hey Nate, you should try this… So yeah, try the quiche. Its yummy.
A special thank you to smiling beautiful Heather LeGarde for a lovely evening.
