What happened to the weather?

We didn't go to the Oasis after all last night. For a few reasons. . . . when Jason came home from work early to take Kristen to meet Papa, he asked if I wanted to put off going to the Oasis until another time when it was sunny and we could watch the sunset. It had been cloudy all day and we knew the sun wouldn't break out like it had on other late afternoons this week. Not only that, but even though the forecast had said it would be 80 degrees, it had in fact turned pretty cool (read chilly) and was only about 59 degrees, and was drizzling slightly too! I had thought we might stay a while and listen to the live band there, but when I looked on the website it seems they don't start live performances (because they our outdoors I assume) until April.

So for all those reason, we canceled our plans to go to the Oasis and we went to Carrabbas for dinner instead. I had some yummy lobster ravioli and a nice Riesling to drink with it and Jason had Mr. and Mrs. C's Favorite! That was a pretty good choice for him because it was just protein and veggies, no stodgy pasta like mine ;-) We did indulge in dessert and shared some sort of brownie creation (it wasn't with icecream, but I don't know what it was called)

Jason had brought a cd out with him to put on in the car. As we were driving home I mentioned that the cd (by the group Live) reminded me of when we first started dating because we would play it all the time, and my sweet hubby looked over at me and said "I thought it would, that's why I brought it". Isn't that sweet?

So today while Kristen was still at Grandma's we went to Lowes and bought some plants for the front yard. We also bought some brick edging but when we got home we got a little disheartened when we realized the edging was not going to look very good because the yard slopes quite a lot. Basically we gave up trying to make it look right and I just turned the beds over so I can plant the plants out tomorrow. Jason is now having to do some work in the office downstairs, and Kristen is home now playing on her computer next to me. I'm gonna think about planning our meals for next week and writing out a shopping list.

The weather is making me feel kinda 'blah'. There's no sunshine and it seems it may storm again (speaking of which we had a huge thunder storm last night that woke me up around 1am!).

Hi Denise,

Just blogging by to get caught up. Sitting here at Starbucks, in Dallas, Ga! Just moved here from Holly Springs, Ga.

This Starbucks is only about four miles from where I live, so the Lord has given me a new place to write and meet new people.

Miss all the family back in Junction and San Antonio, but know that I am where I am suppose to me. Trust you and your family are being blessed!

Catch ya later,

Writing for the King,

Paul
The Mayor of Starbucks

Hi Denise...dropping by to catch up. I am soooo behind in blogging & blog hopping, & hoping to not go MIA again. It's been difficult though. Sounds like a wonderful meal, & how sweet about the cd that your hubby bought! Did that earn him some points? :-) Kristen gets prettier & prettier! What a beautiful pic of her on Easter. Sending you big hugs!

Hi Denise,
I agree with Julie... the man had romance on the mind and was creative enough to let it show. Good for him!
Have a good day. Hugs

Thank you for all your very helpful info. It seems the US is a lot more lax that Australia. My sister flew within Australia recently, and they took her plastic knitting needles off her. I had a tiny 3'4" screwdriver that was on my keyring for my glasses, and they took that off me too. It seems I'm just going to have to work with the rules and regulations. I really appreciate you asking around and the helpful links, very much.

I hope your week is going well. Big huggles.
