Picnic by a creek

Pop into Emily’s Good Things to Eat for a made-to-order sandwich on fresh-baked bread or a “sliver” (you know, thinner than a slice) of moist apple cake. Then grab a seat on the outdoor deck above trickling Laurel Creek, and you’ll have no choice but to heed the bakery’s motto, posted above the entrance: Relax you have plenty of time.
