Saturday was
our 161th monthiversary, and I loved how our day turned out. I had such grand
hopes of spending the entire day with Ryan, and all those grand hopes turned
into reality.
This
is our fourth spring in this house, and one thing I learned (the hard way) the
first year is that this county does not mess around when it comes to flower
purchases. We live in the heart of Amish country, so in this area you buy your
flowers at a greenhouse, not a box store. And you better get yourself to that
greenhouse early or you’ll just have to make do with what everyone else left
behind. And they don’t leave behind too much.
So
we went to two greenhouses – one for our flowers/plants and another for
veggies! My favorite part of the morning was being at the first greenhouse
before everyone else showed up. It was quiet, peaceful, beautiful, and so
fragrant.
We
were able to find all our plants between the two greenhouses – including a zucchini
called Spineless Perfection. I told Ryan it was a plant named for me! (Ha!)
We
came home, ate a little bit, dressed up, and headed to church to work a
funeral. Ryan ran the sound board, so I sat in the sound booth with him.
After
the funeral, we changed again and headed out for grocery shopping and a dinner
date! We decided to try a restaurant we’ve never been to before, and…it didn’t
turn out quite like we hoped.
It
probably didn’t help that we didn’t know/remember dinner and the Kentucky Derby
happened simultaneously, so there was a whole party happening inside the restaurant.
The hosts tried to seat us in the middle of said party, and we never would have
been able to hear a thing in our own conversation, so Ryan asked if we could be
seated in a different area. They found us a different table…but the rest of the
night followed suit. The food was okay but not amazing. They mopped the floors
all around us while we ate, so our food had a slight bleach taste and smell.
It
made for a funny story for the scrapbook, and I don’t think we’ll be back to
that restaurant. We did stop at our favorite local ice cream place on the way
home for a little treat.
The
day was long and full, but we got to spend it together – and not in a hospital!
Win win!
