A Day Away

My guy took me away for a day to have lunch at one of our favorite deli places. This was a real treat for me.

We then drove on to the candy outlet where I buy the sugarfree candy I can have, much of which isn't even sold in stores around our home. Hansel and Gretel would love this place.

On our way home the alternator on my car decided to die and we were stuck for a while(I didn't take pictures of this disaster.) I took refuge inside a nearby drugstore for a while to keep my candy from melting.

I had a lot of candy to save, too, as you can see. We only go to the outlet once or twice a year, so I buy our favorites in bulk.

Anyway, while we were waiting for the tow truck so many people stopped to offer to help us we were truly stunned. Even the tow truck driver was super nice, and we had a great talk with him on the way home. The candy survived without melting as well. So all in all an interesting day away that restored a little of my faith in humanity.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.
