Columbia Supporters

  

Yesterday Rick and I went to Columbia arts and antiques craft show. We got some really cool antiques. Had a great visit with my Mom, who is doing well. I just find it amazing that I know a ton of people who live in Columbia, but after spending all day walking the craft show....the only people we saw that we knew were all family members.

Had a lovely dinner at Prudhommes  to finish off the day before heading home! :-))

Trattoria Fratelli

capasante con mango ravanello $10
pan-seared sea scallops with fresh mangoes, radishes and spicy mango vinaigrette

Rick and I both had this and it was great!!

 insalata di anguriale e cetriolo $8
watermelon and cucumber salad with nasturtiums, red onion and marsala vinaigrette
This was my refreshingly fresh salad! Rick had a classic Caesar.

This was Ricks entree and I had
