Valentine's Day weekend

On Saturday, Cindy and I drove up to Atlanta and found a table among the young families at Osteria 832. The food was good. The adults were more noisy than the children. We were fortunate enough to get a Valentine's Day Special of two entrees, salads and a bottle of wine for $40.00. It was very nice.

Afterward, we drove over to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. They were providing a special Valentine's Day celebration, with desserts and champagne and a jazz band and such. It was nice. The weather wasn't too chilly for February and everyone seemed to be having a nice time.

I must say, it was the first time in a very long time where Cindy and I didn't end our date with a trip to Barnes and Nobles and a cup of Starbucks (tea for me, you know).

Yesterday, I assisted Tim with the church service, then was able to get the women dressed for a trip to IKEA and supper at Six Feet Under in Atlanta. That was middling fun. Supper was good.

I heard a rumour that Krispy Kreme was falling on hard times and might close. You couldn't tell that by the crowd at the store on Ponce de Leon on Saturday night. We passed it twice and the cars were lined up around the store for the drive through and there were always people buying inside. Meanwhile, they were making heart shaped donuts inside for the masses. It was nutty.
