| Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit! |
The 1st of July! I can't believe it! My birthday is next week (can't believe that either... I think it comes around much too fast these days). But I guess when you're in your 70's, I should be glad that I made it to another birthday (and I am!!).
This summer will go by in a flash. And before we know it, we'll be thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas again (scary). How is it that it seems forever to Christmas as a child and always just around the corner when we're grown?
Anyway, I have no plan today as to what I'm posting. Just wanted to say "Rabbit!Rabbit! White Rabbit!" since it was the first day of the month.
DH and I had a really nice weekend. A friend happened to go to the Ceramics Supply Shop (which is way across town) and was nice enough to pick up some grey underglaze for me. Having renewed my supply of underglazes recently, I had forgotten to get the light grey... which is what I need most when working on my seal sculptures. So I've been able to continue working with them this weekend (hurray!).
Also DH and I met some friends for dinner Sunday night at Whiskey Cake. We really like Whiskey Cake as their food is great (all fresh and local), their service is great (extremely nice people), and their Whiskey Cake dessert is fabulous (served in a large enough piece for all to share - and with a bowl of fresh whipping cream!) And the coup de' resistance for me is that their coffee (served in individual French Press) is delicious!
And to make things even better... we really love the couple we were meeting. They are old friends from home (New Orleans/LSU Baton Rouge) who now live here, but we just don't get to see often enough. But time flies when you're having fun and we talk, talk, talk... and the hours flew by. Now with them going to Ireland and us going to Hawaii in the next few months, and Thanksgiving and Christmas coming before we know it, I doubt that we will see them again until 2020. But that's OK... because when we do, it'll be worth the wait.
As always, thanks for visiting! And I truly hope you have a wonderful week...
Hugs,
Rian
That restaurant sounds great! Nice to catch up with old friends - it's funny how time gets away from you and you realize you haven't seen people in ages. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant is my favorite for meeting friends. It's different... and we don't go there often, but when we do, we always enjoy it. As far as time getting away from you, it's true. But with good friends, it could be years and it still feels like just yesterday.
DeleteThat sounds like a wonderful place to join friends for dinner and dessert. That cake sound amazing. What a nice uplifting post, Rian. Happy Fourth of July to you and yours! :-)
ReplyDeleteD'Jan, I have to admit... the whiskey cake and coffee is a big draw. But the place is different and the food and service is good. Wishing you a happy safe Fourth of July too!
DeleteExplain the white rabbit thing. Honestly, I never heard that before.

DeleteIt's not something I grew up with, Olga... learned it from other bloggers.
No wonder my luck is so iffy, I can never remember Rabbit Rabbit. How nice to meet up with old friends to share companionship and great food.
ReplyDeleteJohn said a mouth full. Perfect.
Patti, I don't know about the good luck thing... kind of like having cabbage and black eyed peas on New Years. But heck... why not?
DeleteWe could do a whole blog string on superstitions... like not throwing your hat on the bed, not saying 'come in' if the wind blows the door open', etc.
You sound as if everything is moving along perfectly. Yep, it is fast, but there is still stuff to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about 'perfectly' but definitely pretty well. BTW, I love those butterfly pics you posted.
DeleteWhite Rabbit to you, too, and keep the good times rolling.
ReplyDeleteI will most certainly try, Joanne. And you too!
DeleteReal friends are those whom you may not see very often but when you do you pick up instantly where you left off last time.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Friko.
Deleteone of the advantages of living near a big city is to be able to enjoy all the restaurants, we have very few hear here; I envy your trip to Hawaii
