Today, after a morning at home that started out really well and ended quite poorly, we got a last minute invitation to join some friends at the Hilton before heading to their place for dinner. I {being me} was beginning to go absolutely stir crazy and needed to get out of the apartment, so I jumped at the opportunity, prepared a salad and a veggie tray with homemade dip, and had us all packed up and ready to go in 35 minutes. I’m so glad I said yes. It turned out to be an absolutely lovely afternoon filled with sunshine, play, good friends, and delicious food, and it doesn’t get much better than that.
