We’ve started making time for date night again. We got out of the habit when finances were in the gutter…okay they are still in the gutter but not quite as entrenched.
It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. With my tooth still waiting for the dentist to fix it on Monday I can’t do a lot of chewing without pain so Ken suggested we go to Panera for a bowl of soup. I admit I have a hard time turning down Panera soup so off we went.
It was just such a lovely night. For a few hours the Advil was working and the pain had subsided and maybe it was the fact that it was the first real meal I’ve had in days but I felt so good. It was about 70 degrees with a light cool breeze in the air and as we looked towards the west and saw the remains of daylight scattered across the bottom of the sky in faint pink tones. We couldn't help but notice just above it the crescent moon appeared to smile down with approval at the brilliancy that Venus displayed brightly in the western sky. What a beautiful way to welcome the night. I hope you saw it too.

I did see the mood. I live in Az, phoenix to be exact. I have always had a facination/love affair with the moon and the stars. You spoke about them so brilliantly, it was like a poem. thank you
ReplyDeleteI did happen to notice the moon on the way home from the grocery store 2nite...but i think you are about 50 degress warmer than me!!
ReplyDeletegood job for you guys on the "date nite"!!
so glad youve resumed the date night (we have date afternoon today!) and that you felt better for at least a bit.
ReplyDeleteAh, that's so cute that you guys do stuff like that! I agree with you, Panera soup is so yummy it is near impossible to turn it down.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! It's the little things that are so joyful - seeing the sky at just the right time of night, sharing a meal with the man you love....makes all the other stuff melt away for a bit!
ReplyDeleteit sounds beautiful! It was very cold and windy here yesterday........snow in the morning so I missed the sunset. I was probably bathing children about that time ;)....no windows in their bathroom :)
ReplyDeleteThe soup sounds yummy......love Panera! Hubby and I are hoping for date afternoon next weekend....maybe that will be an option for us.
I also thought the moon looked very pretty last night, although I have to confess that I didn't see Venus! Sounds like a great date night.
ReplyDeleteDate night sounds so nice! Glad that you had fun and that you felt good! Good luck tomorrow on getting your teeth taken care of.
ReplyDeleteAw, sounds like a wonderful evening. I haven't had a date night in a while. They're so nice.
ReplyDeleteWhen I had a toothache my dentist suggested getting some oil of clove (i guess from a pharmacy) for a pain killer. Just rub it on the offending spot.
So cute! we noticed the moon too on our way home from our "date".
ReplyDeleteLove your 'picture'! I missed the real thing. :-(
ReplyDeleteDate nights are sooo important to keep a relationship alive! GOod for you for finding the money to do it!
What a great date night! I took it you sat outside? Really enjoy that, day or night. Delita
