Last Saturday...
Jan. 20th, 2008 04:02 pm...involved a drive to Arkansas, discount shopping, a winery, a pub........
One of the first Saturday's Joe had off in a while that he actually felt like doing something or we did not have to accomplish things around the house, we decided to go out for the day. Part of it was in search of engraving bits for Joe's dremel for a project he wants to work on. For that we tried a discount place in Alma, Arkansas - A to Z. It's several buildings one of which is devoted to 'tools'. Though as we wandered the aisles, we found other bargains as well. Including a dragon necklace knife that is now in my collection. From there we drove another 30 miles or so to Altus, planning on a late lunch at the pub there. First we stopped and took a quick tour of Wiederkehr Winery.
From there a drive to Kelt's, our favorite place in this area... Irish pub for late lunch, early dinner and some crochet for me, reading for joe
Started a secret surprise here for two friends of mine

Labor Day and Birthday!
Sep. 5th, 2007 01:25 amIt's been a good birthday weekend in spite of the fact I've been sick.
Started with a wonderful SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Mail package from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
hp5freak and a Molly afghan.
Friday night after work, Joe took me to Bravo's, a small italian restaurant that we love to go to in Fort Smith, AR. It was delicious with creamy garlic soup and salad. A bruschetta for each of us and I ordered linguini olio agile while Joe had tortellini al fresco. Both were great with some tiramisu for dessert!
Managed to get laundry done Saturday and organize some yarn for Ravelry stash log before having to lay down not feeling well.
Sunday after church though, we headed out to Altus and Kelt's Pub for brunch. Joe took a book and I took crochet and we had a leisurely meal of fruit compote, eggs benedict, potatoes o'brien and black & tans followed by coffee. On the way home, we stopped in Fort Smith at Hastings and for my birthday, Joe got me
and 
Monday, we were back in Fort Smith at Sweet Bay Coffee House for lunch and to meet up withquietish and her family on their way back home from their weekend with sociallyawkrd As you can see the hobbits were quite fun and cute. Especially Jamie and her cookie that she's pictured with. Well it was supposed to be a cookie before she quite nicely conned her mother. It seems when they went to the counter, J informed Mom there were no cookies so was able to select chocolate cake instead. Mom pays turns to leave and bet you can't guess what Mom sees in the display case? *lol* Nice movie J!
And Rosemary gifted me with some beautiful yarn for my birthday! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Today, more SQUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEE mail arrived from West Virginia too in the form of a little black dragon with red trim from the lovelyjennbrad52
