Hallmark

 

When we hear "Hallmark" we think greeting cards

Even with electronic cards, we can and do send/ give greeting cards

I know a man who likes to head to the dollar store, buy his wife a $ card and then tell everyone around the table that it only cost a dollar.

So, on Mother's Day, I know a lady who was given two bouquets from the garden and a Hallmark card.
She thought she would share the $ store story

and hubby  replied.." I found a great Hallmark card at Bartell's and went up to the counter to pay for it and it was $11.64.  So I took it back and went next door to the dollar store and found this one for $0.50."

end of story.

In Passing

 

Another restaurant visit, one of our favorites

It is called  British Pantry 

The decorations are very British, the menu is very British and most of the wait staff is British.

So there is table service, no tv's, but relaxing music.

Often the tapes are Bronn Journey.  He is a Harpist and plays familiar Christian songs.

Ok.   not my ride, but it is a beauty
and parked outside our window

So here we are, seated for dinner, observing quite a few guests  ( it is Saturday night)  The dress is pretty casual, but always respectable  ☺

And then, around the corner enters a very stricking couple.  The gentleman is wearing a suit and tie. The lady, and very much a lady, is head to toe amazing.  Well, the first item I noticed was a very bright yellow skirt.  Her top was black and her hair was swept up perfectly to show her triangle dangle earrings.      I did not want to stare ( and my children will be glad to know that I did not try to sneak a picture ) so I did not notice her shoes tucked neatly under the table.

Well, she looked...outstanding...and I had to let her know.  So as we were leaving I slipped back to her table and leaned over to tell her "You look stunning".   she smiled and said thank you and smiled and said..."You have made my day"

Once again, one smile brings another.  

(And I might slip into my favorite paisley frock next Saturday night ) 

I live an exciting life
