A Lovely Outing

I enjoyed a lovely outing this afternoon.  With summer hours ending in another couple of weeks, I took advantage of having a long afternoon to meet my dear relative Susan for our annual summer lunch.  She lives about two hours away from me and her life is crazy-busy with three children, a full-time teaching job, and a pastor husband, so we don't see nearly enough of each other.

We met today at The Diner Formerly Known As Zinns where we had a delicious lunch.  The portions are so generous and the prices so low and the menu so extensive; I swear I don't know how they manage to stay in business.  I then shared my Burkholder's coupons and we drove out there to see what was what.

For years, ever since they came out, I've been interested in a lazy susan cutting mat.  It just made so much sense.  But the price was off-putting.  Pat recently bought one and seems quite pleased with hers.  So with my 30% off coupon, today seemed the right time to indulge.  And so I did.  Susan said she hadn't bought fabric in so long that perhaps she had forgotten how.  She hadn't.

What a nice afternoon.
