Hello Friends!
This weekend, I had all sorts of nifty things happen. At the moment, I have Sunday, Monday, an Tuesday off if “this weekend” is confusing
First of all, my Beloved and I went on a date. With her running a thriving business and me at the prison, precious and few are the moments we two can share.
After dropping off the kids at school, she packaged her sales and off we went.
My Beloved has been reading a lot about etiquette lately and I may benefit from it as well. She has been listening to classical music and tried an older Ralph Lauren look. This influenced me to dress up a bit and find something to do that was a little classier than McDonald’s as an outing.
We have been married 16 years and we have had the of ups and downs of life beset us. Commitment and forgiveness hold us together. Marriage is a choice, not a feeling.
A date can be anything where you are spending time together. We chose World Market. Window shopping can be quite fun with the right person.
While my Beloved admired the tableware,
The tablefare,
The outerwear,
The written care,
I focused on the importance of justice and the deeper philosophical points of law and order.
Forunately, my Beloved had the sense to see I needed caloric intake and we went to Sprouts. Here are a few photos of this indoor farmer’s market.
.
We purchased a baguette, peppered turkey and smoked cheese and proceeded to have a picnic in the back yard. We could have chosen a park, but we really like where we live.
What do you like to do when you go on a date?

Fun! Lately the hubs and I have been enjoying active, outdoor dates, cycling or hiking. Also a lot of cooking together. We celebrated 20 years of marriage this August.
Way nifty! We hike a lot together. We strolled around a lake today.
Well me and Jesus think going on a walk sounds nice….
🎶Just to walk with Him means everything to me 🎶 That’s the right place to be little sister!
Love this, the date the pictures, the jail. The line it is a choice and forgivess pretty nuch sums it up. Date, what’s that. talk to me in another 25 years or i shall talk to you. Great post and keep it up. ❤️👍 🤗 Cindy
Thank you for stoppi g by Cindy! You are amazing!
What a delightful post! “Simple gifts” can keep us going.
That is neat! Have you ever heard of the 5 love languages?
I think so but reaching back a bit. I will research.
Google says,
They are acts of service, gift-giving, physical touch, quality time, and words of affirmation.
Indeed.
A couple of my best dates have involved grocery shopping!! Another involved walking around SanFran and discovering we both liked to look at buildings, especially architectural details.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Sprouts. I know they are, or were, insanely popular here but I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one on my journeys.
It sounds like you had a wonderful date night. That makes me very happy!
We had a blast! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Sounds like a great time! I was married for 21+ years but my husband passed away in 2018. I have a wonderful boyfriend and we enjoy spending the day at local wineries. Marriage does take work but it is worth it.
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your input on what you enjoy while dating. 🤠🔥
Blessings to you and your beloved in Jesus name. May your marriage continue to strive.
Thank You!
What a great post! I enjoyed every line and every photo.
Thank you Gabrielle!
My pleasure. You post put a smile on my face today 🙂
I am glad to hear it!

Great post! I need to go ask my husband out on a date… I forgot about those 😂
Let me know what you both came up with!
Read with a huge smile.
I am glad you enjoyed it! We did!
Very cute!
Thank you. What was your last outing?
Until next spring…
What are your future plans?
Sounds lovely! My boyfriend and I like to go to a local teahouse, super cute and cosy.
Sounds fun! We steep it at home! We have done the tea house thing before.
The fruits look awesome. It looks like you two had a great day out!
We had a blast! Look at you! You changed your profile picture! 🤠🔥
