Winding Down the Weekend

Another weekend comes to a close, and as usual it went by so fast.

My foot feels great, I can't believe that just 5 weeks ago I was in so much pain. It is amazing how the body heals itself.

Brian and I had a babysitter last night, so we can head out for our bi-weekly dinners sans kids. We went back to our favorite restaurant, Roy's. http://www.roysrestaurant.com/ Funny story from way back...Brian and I went to Roy's last year in March. Our service got a little poor at the end of our meal and our waitress never came back to take our coffee and dessert order. We informed the manager about it and he gave us his business card with an offer for free coffee and dessert for the next time we dined there. So we did. Last November we went for our anniversary. We gave our waitress the card and the manager came over, so impressed that we held onto the card and came back to dine there on our anniversary that he wrote "forever" on the card and told that as long as we dine there, coffee and dessert is on the house for the rest of our lives. Wow..on the way home we joked about laminating it, putting it our will, bequeathing it to the kids..etc. We tried to use it last night. Our waiter looked at it..said "Forever..great"..came back with our check, no charge for dessert and coffee..but they confiscated the card. Game over.
So, we were a little bitter.

Not much on our plates today..did some yard work, made some treats for teacher's appreciation week at the kids school, and worked on refinishing some chairs. I also tried my hand at grilling pizza. The pizza crust totally burnt, but it had the workings of something really good.

The kids loved playing outside today! They had fun in the sandbox and we had to drag them inside for their much needed baths!


Six more weeks of school!
