Wednesday, November 14, 2018

Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2007. That day I took Mattie to visit Peter at his office. Mattie fell in love with Peter's dry erase board. As you can see Mattie decided to draw his favorite subject matter....something with wheels. But the tell tale sign of a Mattie picture, was always the incorporation of the sun.

In honor of Peter's birthday, we went out to dinner last night. We rarely go out midweek, but Peter's birthday only comes around once a year. So it was worth stopping the daily grind, to pause and acknowledge the special day. 

It was our first time dining at Fiola. It was a special treat, and they greeted us with a hand written note.... on our table!

We ordered a three course meal, but at Fiola you get a lot of other perks. Such as two amuse bouches! This was a photo of the first one, followed by a tasty cauliflower soup. 

I am not sure what is more noteworthy.... the food, the service, or the beautiful fine china everything was served on. All the plates were made by Limoges. They were stunning!

The waiter snapped a photo of us last night!

Cinderella went back to the candy routine today. I basically consolidated bags of candy that were spread out all over the garage to one place. This is the remaining candy that we have to deliver on Friday!!! 

Take a look at my trunk! The car actually smells sickening! I dropped off candy in Reston today to an organization called Special Love. Then drove back to Arlington to restock my car. Then drove back to Washington, DC to deliver another load to the Ronald McDonald House. I am hoping that I can make my deliveries tomorrow and that the snow holds off. I really want all of this OUT of my car.
