Dinner

July 1st, 2010

Tonight was Hein’s birthday and he invited Marcel to come along with him, Desere, his mom, and Desere’s parents for dinner.    That’s his way of celebrating and he prefers it to the traditional pop and circumstance of having droves of people in the house and calling it a party.

We went to a restaurant that I’ve never been to before, located on a huge lake in the town next to ours.   The food was great and the company even better.  It was the perfect ending to a very busy and eventful day.   Tomorrow should prove to be a little slower, although I do need to work and also need to get a little grocery shopping done for this coming weekend, which is going to be another busy one.

Next weekend, we’ll be going out to dinner again- only this time it will be Marcel and I along with Desere and Hein for my birthday.    Now if I can decide which restaurant I’d like to go to, we’ll be in business.     As for right now, I do believe I hear the sofa calling my name.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll be back to share more of my adventures from today.   I’m going to try to start writing little things more often, as I make an attempt to restructure the course of my day.

Don’t forget to take your picture tomorrow for 5 O’ Clock Friday.  Feel free to email it to me at lori in care of this website (simplywizardress.com) or let me know if you’ve added it to your blog so I can check it out and link it here.    Mark your calendars. :)

Sit and Observe

July 1st, 2010

I have an interesting story to tell about how I spent my morning, but at the moment I don’t have a lot of time to share the story. What I will say is that part of my day included not one, but two trips to Starbucks, which resulted in my new love- “Mocha Frappuccino Light”. I’m not one for anything warm when it’s warm outside, and this little iced jewel was deeee-lish. Desere isn’t one for ‘iced’ coffee’s so she liked it but said she wouldn’t order it. She had the Caramel Macchiato times two.

I also wish at times that I had a small pair of binoculars in my bag when I was out and about. Sometimes you ‘think’ you see something, but you can’t be for sure because you can’t get close enough. I had that happen several times today. One thing is for certain, Desere and I both agreed that we could sit on a bench and watch people all day long. It’s amazing the things you see if you just sit and observe.
