This & That: The hubs is out of town on business and the Girlchild is on retreat….

The hubs was on the road to the airport before the sun came up this morning and we dropped the Girlchild off at church on Saturday for her annual Youth Spring Break retreat.

We had a wonderful date night on Saturday evening. We tried a new local Italian restaurant. It was good but not a home run. My Tortellini was awesome it was filled with ricotta and served in a sauce made of 3 kind of cheese, what's not to like about that! The hub’s veal marsala was not so much. I got the Bruschetta with tomato, garlic and basil as an appitizer and it was un-inspiring, plus it was huge for an appetizer. I neglected to take any pictures of my meal but you will just have to trust me when I say that this brochette did not look like any brochette that I had ever seen. It had way to much tomato topping and it was way to big.

After dinner we went to see True Grit, we really stretched the old budget as it was at the dollar theater. We are all about begin big spenders on date night can’t ya tell.

It was a good movie but I did find that I was a bit confused in a few placed as to who the characters were and why they were important to the main story. My advice wait for the DVD that way you can hit the pause button to go back to figure out the confusing parts.

After the movie we topped off our night with a trip to the DQ, never let it be said that the hubs and I cant push the envelope and walk on the wild side from time to time!

Today I have putted around the house catching up on a few movies stored away on the old DVR. I did a bit of work in the garden getting it ready for my plantings don’t ya just love the smell of cow manure as it waft in from the back yard, however the dog is in seventh heaven with all the wonderful new smells going on and I am looking forward to a evening alone with a take out salad and nice glass of wine and Dancing With The Stars.

All in all it’s been a good few days and it’s only Monday!

Gotta love Spring Break!

Blessings

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
