Wordless Wednesday | Vernon's Grocery Store, Hope Town, Bahamas
Wordless Wednesday is supposed to be about posting a photo(s) without any words. But, I'm a rule breaker, so here are a few words:
1 - One of the highlights of exploring Hope Town in the Bahamas is a visit to Vernon's grocery store. It's well known for its baked good and its proprietor, Vernon. Vernon is a direct descendant of the original founder of Hope Town. In addition to running the store, Vernon is also a minister at the local Methodist church.
2 - Vernon has inspirational and amusing quotes scribbled on index cards and scraps of paper scattered around the store. Quotes like, "Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue."
3 - This is a picture of the kitchen outside of the store. They make fabulous bread, as well as their famous key lime pie.
What words does this picture(s) bring to your mind when you look at it?

Such simple equipment. Cool Vernon is a minister. The food comes pre-blessed.
ReplyDeleteHe's a really neat guy!
DeleteI love that he posts quotes. I used to do that.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to wander around the store reading the various quotes.
DeleteHow fun. I'm glad you've a place to go that you love. That's a plus. Sounds like most places are very expensive.
ReplyDeleteThat photograph made me think...What's for breakfast.

ReplyDeleteIt's such an interesting place. You'll have to visit one day.
DeleteHomemade bread. Yum.
ReplyDeleteYou just can't beat homemade bread. The smell is divine and the taste is even better.
Deletewhat a delightful post and it makes me smile while thinking of fresh bread and how it smells coming out of the oven! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThe best smell on earth :-)
DeleteI really hate it when I'm the statue.
ReplyDeleteMuch better to be the bird :-)
DeleteThe quotes sound really interesting. Now I want some key lime pie...
ReplyDeleteI tried the pie last time we were there. Really yummy.
DeleteYum, the aroma of fresh baked fabulous bread.... (I'm eating uninspired yogurt at the moment.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I'd take freshly baked bread over yogurt too.
DeleteIt looks like a genuine place, a real restaurant. Not the big, shiny, superfluous kitchens.
ReplyDeleteIt really is - very real and down to earth.
DeleteVernon is versatile!
ReplyDeleteHe is one versatile man.
DeleteThat quote is awesome, Ellen. I am going to try to remember it and when I have days I feel like I am the statue, I will hopefully crack a smile thinking back at Vernon's quote. :-)
