I had a nice and relaxing day today. Didn’t really need to go into the store, so cruised in around 11:00am just to make sure everything was going okay. Had lunch with a girlfriend. We always go to the same Thai restaurant and order the same thing. They make a lovely beef and vegetable dish and will spice it as hot as you like. I like this dish really hot. My friend and I usually spend the lunch hour blowing our drippy noses as we eat. Nothing like getting one’s sinuses drained!

Spent the afternoon with my daughter at a place called The Painted Plate. They have unfinished ceramic dishes and assorted knickknacks for painting. They provide the brushes and paints and other tools for making designs on the items. They then fire the dishes in their kilns and they turn out so nice! My daughter is trying to outfit herself with dishes for when she moves away into her own place. I’m not much of an artist, but it sure is a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon.
