Dinner at Spumoni’s …

I received a great surprise after the performance today. Our friends Aaron and Denise Preston and their daughter Verity came to see the show with Allison and Andy. Eva was feeling under the weather and stayed home. Aaron had been in a play back in 2018 and I think seeing him in that play got it in my head that maybe I should try again to do some theater. I have certainly enjoyed my time on this play.

After the play we went to Spumoni’s for dinner. I’ve never been and I must have passed the place hundreds of times over the years. Just never stopped to eat there. A guy at work was raving about their Italian Pu Pu Platter. So, that is what I got for my dinner. It was huge enough to have it again for dinner another night as well. In fact, we all got doggie bags with the food that we could not finish. Aaron got a seafood dish that I am definitely ordering on our next visit.

It was nice to enjoy dinner with our friends, it is always a great time when we get together. Great conversation and laughter. We don’t connect enough at all but when we do it is fun.

Cookie Tin Dice …

Before Christmas I pre-ordered a set of special Dungeons and Dragons dice for Eva. They are packaged in a danish cookie tin but the dice have sewing supplies in the middle of each die. Eva got a huge kick out of this. Allison found her a tool for sewing that is along the same lines. It is a magnet that looks like a cookie tin and when you open it it has sewing supplies inside and it is magnetic so it can hold needles and other tools. Eva was very happy with this gift.
