Lunch downtown

Galen was spending some time at the library the other day and suggested we have lunch downtown.

Wonderful, I said.

Have I ever showed you our library? It's a beautiful old building.

We walked from the library to the Sugar Plum Shoppe downtown to get our lunch.

This is the Edna Boykin Cultural Center, across the street from the Sugar Plum Shoppe.

Our boxed lunches from the Sugar Plum Shoppe included a deviled egg and dessert along with a sandwich and chips. We carried them back to the library lawn and sat under a big shade tree.

Did I mention, our library has a rose garden.

It was nice to have a picnic lunch downtown with my hubby, something we don't do very often.

Be sure to take time out to smell the roses, and have a picnic lunch too! Bon Appetit!

A fun day at the park

We enjoyed a day at Pullen Park over Memorial Day weekend with Jen (our oldest daughter), Madison (our granddaughter), Rob (our son-in-law) and Donna (Rob's mother). We packed up the cars with a picnic lunch, our ball gloves and the "Titanic".

It was a beautiful mild day, about 80 degrees with a slight breeze, just perfect!

Here we are on the paddle boats. (Jen, Maddie, and me)

A game of throw and catch.

Maddie rode the carousel. She picked the cute black and white pig.

We took a train ride around the park.

Maddie helped Papa launch his boat "The Titanic". You can read more about these little boats at Putt Putt Boats.

And we finished the day off with some juicy sweet watermelon!

A fun day at the park, and we all had a great time!
