Date Night
Our date was cut a bit short as he wanted to mow. That is alright as at least it was just right!
We went to fast food (Culver’s) which was good as they had my kind of food
Gluten free bun with grilled chicken and broccoli. It put me in the mood!
Hubby wanted to mow. It was high 80s and even 90s today
we weren’t quite ready for that. It was just in the 40s a day
or a week ago. The grass is cut weekly in the summer. He
wanted to start when the sun went down. I was happy he didn’t ask me.

We went to a potluck with friends that we were too late for, as I
read the invite wrong. I read May ’26 as the 26th of May, oh my!
In reality it was May 6, 2026. Silly me! It was on my calendar that way
So now what? We went for fast food and then home so he could mow away.

And that leaves me with finishing up the laundry and writing.
There is always more to do. Fundraising projects are still waiting.
As much as people complained about the weather, very little was said.
The dentist said she had to go outside to warm up as she did dread
the cold from the air conditioning. She was right as I could have worn
a sweater. I am carrying one with from now on. You would have sworn
it was winter if you couldn’t see all the green out the windows.
I will think twice before wearing shoes baring my toes.

Author’s Note: They have so few older people dating on Unsplash. At least they have a few dating — Shabash! Don’t older couples have date night? The photo reminds me of Lake Superior and that as a possible date site. It is only about 1 1/2 hour from us. It would be no dressing up and no fuss.
