Britt's Bakery

There's a new bakery in town!

I went to Britt's Bakery yesterday to see what all the hubbub was about.  As I approached the storefront the smell of recently baked pastries was strong in the air, bringing me back fond memories of bakeries I had visited while a missionary in Argentina.  I bought some baked donuts and cinnamon rolls.   They were delicious.   The baked donuts reminded me of facturas from Argentina, though not exactly the same.  Between me and the kids, they were gone quickly.   The cinnamon rolls were big, fluffy, gooey and yummy.  As you might expect, they also offer breads, cakes, cupcakes and cookies.    The cakes looked very creative, showing a variety of themes and styles.  The storefront is clean and neat.  The owners, Matthew and Brittany McDonald, looked just like parents of a new baby -- happy and tired.    Brittany told me this has always been her dream.  She's living it and it's a sweet dream that the McDonalds are sharing with us.   If you're downtown on a stroll, this is a great place to stop and have a sweet treat.

Bridge Club

Every Wednesday at 7pm there is a bridge club meeting at the Moorefield Public Library.   The dues are $3 / partnership to pay for the cards, equipment and cookies in the break room.  There is a good mix of people there from Petersburg and Moorefield and a good time is had by all.  If you have interest in bridge or are a serious card player that wants to learn the epitome of card games, this is for you.  I often attend with my father when our Wednesdays are free.  The competition is stiff, so don't expect to go in and clean up on your first outing.  The last time we went we placed a couple of partnerships above the bottom.  Someone asked me how I felt about our performance that day and I said it felt like I had just gone over some rapids and wiped out.  It was a wild ride that I came out of tired and sore, with maybe a little bit of a bruised ego.  After it's over you look back up the river, shake it off and say, "let's do it again."   Hope to see you there sometime soon.
