Monday Morning with the Bull

Monday mornings I am part of a book club/ play group that meets at a coffee shop (The Blue Coffee Cafe) downtown. After group Nora Lee and Halleigh were drawn to the above statue, and it turned out to be a great photo-op. This bull... the Durham Bull was so fascinating to the girls that they had to go see the "cow" as Nora Lee put it.

The Blue Coffee Cafe is great for several reasons, but here are a few. #1 It is locally owned, and not just that, but it is owned by a woman. #2 It has great coffee and breakfast type foods. #3 It is kid friendly, there is a toy box full of toys and they have a carpeted area that is nowhere near the counter (getting in the way of other people) or the front door (escaping). #4 It is super laid back, no one cares that we are there for two hours or have kids that run wild, in the designated area.

As with anywhere in public, when we get home, Halleigh needs (and gets) a good scrub down, but she really enjoys it and I really appreciate the other mom's in the group. I have come to really think of them as good friends.

Miles just told me that the bull actually has a name, Major... Major Bull?!?! Are you kidding me? Did they not think about the name? Is that the artist's sick idea of a joke?
Is he from Raleigh?
