Good morning.

It’s been a busy, busy week.  Good busy.  I forgot last week to show the beautiful moon we saw when we were headed out on our date.  Every night the sky has been just beautiful.

It’s not the best quality picture but I did have hubby stop the car so I could take it.  It seems I have started to see life differently these days and I often want to stop and enjoy.  A good thing, eh?  As soon as we started driving away, the moon moved away from the trees and kept getting prettier when we could actually see it.

The little daughter and her fiance flew across the country last night.  When I got up this morning, I had a beautiful text photo message of the wing of their airplane and the sunrise.  I’m glad she got to make the trip she’s making.  She’s with his family and they have taken her in as their own.  They had this incredible opportunity which I’ll tell you about later.  His mom bought some yarn and was going to have her help her with knitting since they were flying all night and she knew she wasn’t going to sleep.  I think that she didn’t actually end up knitting, though.  All I know is they are all exhausted and trying to rest at the moment.  Yea for text messaging!!!

I’m doing a little bit of play swatching in the eternal quest for making something to wear.

I swatched for the Minimalist Cardi awhile back and while it is something I really think I would like to make, I’m not sure it’s what I want to do now.   The color is really washed out, this is really a medium heathery chartruese-y green.  I’m not feeling any kind of stress or pressure to do this, just am wanting to do something different so I can have one more wip.  lol

It’s date night and I am looking forward to it.  Next week, everyone but the little imp and I are going to a worship conference for 3 days.  So, my date will be with one little imp.  I think we may do something fun like a trip out of town and a matinee at a new theater.  The next week, hubby and I have a meeting we have to go to (the nerve of people setting things on our date night!!!!) so I plan to enjoy tonight to the fullest. 

Post date:

Isn’t it fun when friends stop by to visit?  The last half hour of work today, 2 friends stopped in.  We ended up standing outside in the cold talking about how much we love Seattle’s Chocolate and I have to admit I got really hungry for some.  There is a drug store a block from my shop that sells it and I may have to go visit them tomorrow for a piece. (or 5)  Hubby and I often like to share a chocolate bar on our date night when we drink our Starbucks. 

Had a great date tonight.  I was so blessed when I got a table at B&N Cafe and the lady who works there smiled so big and said hi…she has started working days so we don’t get to see her as often any more.  She said “Oh!  I’d better get your coffee started!”  because I like decaf drip Starbucks.  It just made me feel so special, isn’t it great when you feel like someone went out of their way to please you?  They don’t make decaf at night any more but they’ll make it for me because I don’t like Americanos.  I am ever so grateful.
