I had to go back to work on the Monday, so took the Sunday flight out of Memphis (justtwomorethings left the day after). My flight was late enough that justtwomorethings and I were able to grab a nice brunch at Sweetgrass, this artisan-type restaurant in East Memphis. Justtwomorethings mentioned it in the previous post. The breakfast was a interestingly more upscale style that the down-home fried goodness that we’d been eating the rest of the weekend–we started off with a charcuterie platter and then banana bread toast with strawberry cheese cake topping for me and fried chicken with waffles for justtwomorethings. There was also fresh-squeezed orange juice for her and copious amounts of coffee for me. It was very tasty but sat not unlike a bowling ball in the stomach afterwards, so we elected for a short little walk around the block.
On our walk we encountered the House of Mews. Being Sunday, it was closed, but it apparently is an adoption center/pet shop run by a local rescue operation. The many many kitties inside were taking advantage of the summer sun edging into the windows to nap in the brightly colored planters in the windows, which had been adapted into kitty beds. I took several pictures of them until justtwomorethings tore me away to get to my flight and my own kitty-cat.
