We
had an out-of-the-box day, and I think I may have found a little
piece of heaven on earth. Well, maybe two pieces!!
Hubby
had a medical appointment this afternoon at the VA Hospital in KC.
Yesterday was our 12th wedding anniversary, so we decided
to make today our “celebration day” since we were going to the
City anyway. So I enjoyed a fun day with my hubby, which is always
heaven on earth.
Don't
get me wrong, we didn't ignore the date yesterday. I made a big pot
of chili and we stayed snug and warm inside enjoying chili and
football. Or, maybe more accurately stated, we enjoyed the chili and
endured the football. All three of our favorite teams lost in
agonizing last-minute losses.
So
this morning we headed to KC. We took a new route and discovered a
great short-cut for getting to the area near Independence Center. We
had already decided we wanted to do lunch at IHOP – thanks, Mom!
And
IHOP is where I found the other piece of heaven on earth – eggnog
pancakes. Oh, my, so good!! Regular pancakes, with eggnog cream
between the pancakes, topped with butter rum sauce and cinnamon
whipped cream. It was definitely worth the trip.
We
had time before hubby's appointment, so we looked around a few
stores. It was good we headed to the VA Hospital early – we got in
a traffic snarl on I-70 where there had been an accident. We still
arrived by the requested “30 minutes early”. And hubby was in and out in record time – which means no pain inflicted on him by the
dermatologist.
We
stopped at Walmart for a much-needed shopping trip. It always amazes
me how many people can be in the store, even at 3 on a Monday
afternoon. I was so ready to get out of there. We were home by 5 and
now we're just unwinding. I had half a cup of coffee, which I don't
think will keep me awake. I'm ready now to just kick my shoes off and
relax the rest of the evening.
