Everyone
deserves to spoil themselves once in awhile--okay, okay, so I do it
more than once in awhile--and today I did a few of my favortie things
and high on the list was first. I discovered the Cafe Vico, not too far
from where I live, during my birthday celebration. I got a 'pay $25 for
$50 worth of food' from Groupon and so Allen and I went there for lunch.
We had the pasta fagioli soup, rolls with a oil and garlic dip and the
Linguini Pescatore, Allen having it in the marianara sauce while I had
it in the garlic and oil--you still don't want me breathing on you 6-7
hours later! For dessert he had blueberry creambule and I had carrot
cake. What a good meal!Then off to the Dollar Tree and Supermarket--it's
a lie that you don't buy as much on a full stomach!

Let
me start off with the picture of the avocado plant. I gave it to my
neighbor who planted it next to the library--come on over in 7-8 years
and pick an avocado!

I walk into
the Home Depot and my feet automatically go into the plant
department--they always seem to have something 'different--and there
waiting for me was a Siam tulip--have you ever heard of it? I haven't
and then nahing to choose between 3 colors drove me crazy. I want them
all!!! Though it isn't a good picture I eventually decided on the pink
one. Also got a couple of Vincas and a Purslane  to put in my big pot!
