Saturday morning dawns. All were sleeping in. I was fending for myself in the morning. It took me quite a few minutes looking for the coffee. After opening several cabinets numerous times, I found some coffee to make. I read the directions and poured the water into the coffee machine. All was going according to plan. However, Kelly told me that the coffee that I used was old and that she grinds her own coffee now. Dump goes my coffee down the drain and waited for a new fresh cup. Yum! After awhile, Kelly made cheese omelets with salsa and sour cream plus bacon and toast. It was so good. I just love home-cooked meals.
The afternoon finds Kelly and I heading to get a manicure. It is about us. French manicure for Kelly and manicure with clear coat for me. All is done around 12:30 p.m. What is next? Another fun thing for me. We went to the Pandora shop in the mall. I had to find something that signified Tennessee. What did I chose? One charm that had music notes and a guitar plus a heart that says "I love music". So cute. I now have a new one for my collection. It just keeps growing holding significant things in my life. Our next stop was back to Bar Louie on the other side of the mall to have Pretzel Sticks with queso, cinnamon butter and honey mustard and with a beverage on the side while we wait for our next adventure. Our next adventure was something that I had never heard of before.
Our next stop? A gender reveal party. What is that you say? It was all new to me. Here is how that one goes. You walk into the party then write your name and what you think the gender of Baby A will be and the gender of Baby B will be when the twins are born. There is a table where you write a boy's name and a girl's name that you like. The soon-to-be parents were about to reveal the gender of the twins to a small group of family and friends. They had us all go outside across the street where they had these boxes marked as "Baby A" and "Baby B". The goal is to light each box at the same time to reveal the gender. After several attempts, there was blue smoke and blue balloons coming out of the box so that everyone finds out that the gender is a boy for each. I can say that I can mark this event off my bucket list and will probably never do it again. If someone asks me, I can say that I have been to one. The new parents were happy so everyone should be happy.
To reward ourselves, we headed to the Boat House for food and beverages. It was so nice sitting outside. Well, I should say that we were sitting in an area outside on the porch that had windbreaks and heaters. We could see the river. Kelly and I ordered margaritas with 100% Blue Agave el Jimador, Orange liqueur and a squeeze of fresh lime juice with a salted rim glass. You can just sit back and relax. Enjoy! This is the name for this part of the day. Our first appetizer selection to share was Truffle mushrooms Fried with rice flour crust. Okay. This was an amazing experience for the palate. I would so have this again. Absolutely. Definitely. Hugh finally arrived to join us for the dinner portion. He ordered grilled bread with olive oil and cheese. After everything so far, I really needed something light so I chose a grilled salmon salad. The vegetables were fresh and the salmon was cooked just right for me.
After dinner, we went our separate ways. Kelly and I in her car and Hugh in his truck. Kelly and I were cruising along and then Hugh all of a sudden raced passed us. He wanted to beat us. Vrooooom. There he goes! Hold on to your hat. We pulled up along side him and drove ahead of him once. He does not count that as passing him. Traffic was in our way. Oh well. We were happy with music blasting from the Hippie Station. An old familiar song - Draggin' the Line from the 70s. There were so many other great songs. It is my kind of music.
After arriving back home, it was time for Kelly to hit the treadmill and for me to write in my blog while we were watching the rest of American Idol and onto Nashville. I was never much into country music. I have a few country musicians in my CD collection - Tim McGraw and Keith Urban to name a few. I really like Nashville as a show. I do love the music. Actually, I love most music anyway. I also love watching Empire too. A really good music show. You can dance around or tap your feet. Just keep the music alive. It is good for the soul.
It is almost time for our nightly bonfire!
Ciao and Peace out!
