An Evening On the Town

As he and the big boys would be away tonight, M. suggested that Eli and I go out for the evening together. We decided on a trip to the craft shop for some supplies and an early supper. On our way, we stopped along the road to admire a flock of sheep. Eli popped out of the van to gather some wool that had caught on the fence and take a few photos. After our craft shop stop, we crossed the river for an early supper. E. and I ate at a quaint little place - actually a 50-year-old pharmacy with a little restaurant. The food is "from scratch" and always delicious. Dessert came with Eli's meal - a HUGE piece of chocolate cake with peanut butter icing - which went down quite easily with a HUGE smile to match.



After our meal, we browsed through the pharmacy which has a lovely selection of vintage-type gifts, cards and decorative items besides all the regular pharmacy amenities. A pile of goodies was gathered to take home with us - Easter egg dye, paper Easter grass for the boys' baskets (such a beautiful shade of green), tiny chocolate lambs for the boys on Palm Sunday, two reels for Eli's ViewMaster, and a gorgeous Easter card. On the trip home, it was decided that our evening "out" was very successful . . .
