The Center of the State

Braxton County is at the center of the state of WV.  Home of the town of Sutton and Gassaway.

Downtown Sutton has likely seen better days.


This road turns into a brick road with some beautiful Victorian houses, a typical West Virginia holler and ends with Café Cimino Bed and Breakfast and Old Woman's Run Road.





While the picture in the previous post gave the impression that it sat on the edge of a vast field,  Cafe Cimino is surrounded by the above pictures on either side and a creek behind it.



It was a lovely lunch- a margherita pizza and a vodka tonic and a good friend with plans on the calendar to do it again, possibly including a few friends of friends who also laugh together.  It's no surprise,  given all of our coincidences, but one of her other very good friends from Fairmont is great friends with someone I always enjoyed being around in Fairmont way back in the day. 

It was an intimate dining corner with the few people there hearing each others conversations (and occasionally answering each other's questions)  The best part of our continued similarities was the ease with which we both knew and followed exactly what was going on the same way that most men get distracted watching t.v.  We could be mid-sentence, something would transpire and our mutual A.D.D. would pause, attend, make an appropriate facial expression and return to our conversation (although I would also "shout" SQUIRREL! to crack me up.)



And while this may seem like no big deal to some of you, I got to go three and half hours (on the drive) not saying anything to anyone.
