According to the weather channel, today was going to be the only nice day this week, with temperatures in the mid thirties. As soon as I heard that, I vowed to get outside for a while. Before I even got to the phone my friend, Connie, called with the same idea.
We decided to meet at STELLA LUNA for lunch at eleven a.m. and decide what to do after lunch. The STELLA LUNA is a nice restaurant in an old train depot. They offer several lunch specials for six dollars, including soup. We declined desert because a new bakery/sandwich shop just opened in town. After we were finished with lunch, we went to an art gallery on Main Street. In spite of a huge OPEN sign on the front door, it turns out that they are between shows and did not have any art on display. We went in long enough to look at the items for sale in the gift shop (mostly jewelry) and sign up for the mailing list.
Then we went to Neahwa Park and took a long walk on the road between Neawha and Catella Park. Then we went to the new sandwich shop on Main Street. It is run by TWELVE TRIBES, and they have been working on the interior of this place for close to two years. The inside is just gorgeous. We each had a piece of cheesecake, which was very good.
I suggested to Connie that we might go to STEVENS, since it is just across the street from the bakery. STEVENS is a very old store, well over one hundred years old. They sell sporting and camping items. They have not updated their cabinets and display cases over the years and it has a real old time feel to it. The owners said I could take pictures and post them on the internet. I took a lot of pictures! Where else can you buy a weathervane? Honestly, I am pretty sure this is the only place in Oneonta that sells them. STEVENS sells a lot of items that you could not find other places. We spent a half hour or more in STEVENS and the owners answered a lot of our questions.

The picture at the top is the Stella Luna Ristorance (former train depot) where we ate lunch. Beneath that is the old cash register in Stevens, and then there is a picture of the tin ceiling at Common Ground. It was taken out of another old building and moved to Common Ground.
It was a great day!
