Brontë: Like Sisters on Valentine's Day

We drove into Charlotte to find a bookshop that advertised its cafe under the quite clever literary title "Brontë: A Novel Bistro"--can you imagine?! We did not see Charlotte, Emily, Anne, nor Jane Eyre. The chain of Joseph-Beth Booksellers boasts of five locations in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky, and it's bistro/cafe was very pleasant. We had chicken salad, penne pasta, and a summer squash soup that was beyond our expectation. And tea, of course. And a Valentine's Day gift for my daughter titled "Letters to Juliet," which we shall both enjoy reading on the plane. It recounts the history of the tomb and Verona's attempts to employ correspondents, who answer the mail that arrives in stacks to the famous lover. Little secret: Go to http://www.restaurant.com/ I like to peruse their offerings when we are travelling out of town because when you enter the promotion code you can get a $25 gift certificate for $2!! Sometimes it's $4, which is still a bargain. The first time I forgot to type in the discount code, and another time I tried to use two coupons to total $50 but that's not allowable. Still a good bargain, which warms my heart!
