Soo most of my life, post twins, has been like the Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day". Same routine different numbers on the calendar. Well, I wanted today to be different. Here's how it went...it felt like I had morphed into one of those fish that fights the current to swim upstream, uphill, in a storm to successfully reach their spawning destination, but I finally got there! I met a new friend who shares many common interests for morning coffee and went bargain hunting, off the beaten path, all day in her convertible PT Cruiser. We had a great time! I think every first day of Spring ought to be celebrated with the top down, tunes on and wind in your hair!
My "big find" was a unique string of Dragon Fly lights that will look awesome on the outstretched awning of our travel trailer on a fine summer evening (maybe even spring?).
I noticed that the Goodwill parking lot has more BMW's, Mercedes and other high-end vehicles than it does old-clunkers... I think the secret to where the neat stuff is has been exposed!
My friend found some old-world "Bone Dishes". I learned...
A Bone Dish is an antique crescent shaped small plate that was placed at the top left of the dinner plate to hold discarded bones (chicken, fish etc.). A Victorian setting would not be proper without it.
By 4pm I was spent... so we returned to her waterside country home in time to see a Blue Heron take flight. He looked like a giant Pterodactyl!
Back on the home front it was a familiar transition like putting on my favorite slippers after a long day...steaks on the grill, twins in the shower, a movie alone with my husband...ahh all in all a wonderful Spring Opening Day!!!
Thanks to my husband for "manning the troops"... I really needed the break:-)
