Oh, what a spectacular day! The weather started out a bit gloomy but it turned out to be a perfect autumn-like day.
My sister Shannon came over to spend her birthday with me. We had Christmas Cookie coffee (sweetened with sugar, vanilla flavored creamer, and topped with whipped cream...it gives me a cavity just thinking about it), turtle biscotti, and chocolate elcairs while we played two grown-up games of Scrabble. NOTE: Grown-up Scrabble is when you use more than two or three letter words for every single turn, which is opposite of my English-poor but extremely intelligent husband.
After a lunch of four cheese lasagna, garlic bread with cheese, a yummy spring greens salad, and corn, we took a half-mile walk down our country road. On the way back to the house we stopped at my friend Becky's house. Her gardens are so beautifully perfect that they should be featured in a magazine. Shannon and I enjoyed the tour that Becky gave us, then Shan had to hit the road. It was a wonderful day.
Miracles DO happen. My husband decided that we would go to the Boondocks restaurant at Weldon Springs, and then watch "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." DEFINITE chick-flick, and definitely not his type of movie. It was great!
Days like this happen only a few times a year, so I savor every second of them. Life is great!
