Well Larry and I had a very joyful time this past Sunday. We ended up dropping Joe off at Crystal's around 9:30 and then we were off on our adventure. We decided to go to Denios Market and Auction in Roseville as I'd never been and always wanted to check it out. It's sort of a farmers market and a swap meet combined. We picked up some juicy fruit and chili's for Larry's next b-b-que adventure. We didn't actually make it to the auction barn as this place is huge and I was exhausted just walking through the swap meet areas, but are planning to make another trip to check it out in the near future.
After Denio's we headed over to our local SPCA to look at the puppies (and bunnies, cats and gerbals). They were all so cute but none of them said, "Take us home" in our hearts so we're still on our search for a new member of our family. It's a bit of a challenge because the ones we've been leaning towards in our research are not really appropriate for a child Joe's age so we're not sure what we're really looking for at this point.
After the SPCA we went to a new place that we'd never been called R15 (which is a bar/billards joint) and had dinner at the Bernardo's cafe which is attached to the bar. It was so good and it was a free meal since we had a gift card that Larry's sister had given us a few months earlier. I had the best soup - it was red lentils with apple and it was delicious. All of the food there was excellent and the desserts were to die for. I had triple layer chocolate cake while Larry had carrot cake and they were both so moist and rich in flavor.
Afterwards we headed over to visit with Chuck and Kelli and just hung out and conversed for an hour before leaving to pick up Joe. Of course Chuck had to give us a hard time about being "old" as we had dinner at 3:00 in the afternoon. Hey when you're hungry, you're hungry. And he didn't mind taking my left overs.
When we got to Crystal's her place looked like a tornado had ripped through it. Joe had toys strewn all over the place. Joe was exhausted and could barely keep his eyes open. They had taken him with them to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and I'm not sure who got more of a work out out of running around and playing - Crystal or Joe. He loves spending time with her because she always plays with him and makes him laugh. They have a really special bond.
So once again Kudo's to my sister for giving us a pleasant and child-free day. It was great for my soul and for our relationship as sweethearts.
