My Hot Date This Morning

This morning I had a hot date with a handsome blond boy.  His smile lights up the room with dimples in both cheeks and his sparkling dark chocolate brown eyes have a way of getting you to say yes to his requests. 

We started our day by dropping off Mason's forgotten backpack/lunch at her school.  He was more than understanding about running this errand we needed to complete before starting our day.  He was happy to hold my hand as we walked around IHM and found Mason's teacher.  Next up, we headed over to Greensboro to enjoy inflatable fun and to play like kids!  My guy couldn't get enough of the climbing, tumbling, running, spinning in the air, and giggling.  What a carefree time we had!

Just before it was time to leave, I had one more surprise...much to his delight, he was able to pick out a treat from the ice cream freezer!  He was so excited he talked about how he would eat his treat just as soon as he got home and had lunch the whole way back to High Point.

Yep, today was Clark's Special Day! 

After taking Clark home, I hit the road to meet up with a friend in a small town in Virginia that was the halfway point for us.  It was fun spending time in a Tastie Freez since I hadn't done that since high school and the coffeeshop we stumbled upon after lunch was a real gem!  Before crossing the street to go to the Uptown Cafe Coffeehouse, we swung by the Ammo and Gun Shop (!!).  I was more excited by the prospect of seeing the "guard dogs" that the signs on the front door warned the potential customer  about...and was surprised to see that the ferocious guard dogs were not German Shepherds or Black Labs but were tiny under 5 lb. Yorkies!  I enjoyed cuddling one of them as Tim browsed the weaponry in the shop.

At the Uptown Cafe Coffeehouse, I enjoyed a Snickers Latte, that was soooo delicious!!  Several hours passed by in the blink of an eye as the atmosphere, service, decor, and the live music that started at 7pm were wonderful!  Hearing some of Tim's stories about the military made me even more grateful for what our brave service men and women do for us every day.  If any of you are currently serving, are related to someone who is, or are vets, like my Dad so proudly is of the Air Force, please know we appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts for the sacrifices and loyalty!

Anyhow, the staff, owners, and entertainment at the Uptown Cafe Coffeehouse were superb.  While live music is provided every Friday night, on the last Friday of the month, they do praise and worship music and on some Saturday nights, they show movies for free.  Tomorrow night, Fireproof, starring Kirk Cameron, was the main feature.  If you ever find yourself in downtown Victoria, VA, do yourself a favor and check out this charming coffeehouse!
