A Most Productive Date Night

For date night last week we had dinner at Jerusalem Market next to DU. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. We still have warm days, but the cool breezes start in early afternoon and they make me want pumpkin everything. Although I haven't caved yet. And I'd like to point out that it's currently the third of September and I haven't decorated the house yet. There's not a pumpkin in sight. Nothing orange to be seen.

But, dinner.

The food was good, the location was convenient, and dinner was cheap! We started with hummus and pitas.

 

It was a night of falafel. G had the sandwich and I had the mixed plate with salad and more hummus. The falafel was flavorful and pretty light.

Check out the beautiful night...

Afterwards we went to Home Depot and they were still selling mulch, so we bought 10 bags. And I was able to make serious progress out back today while G was nerding it up in the Springs. I alternated yard work with V Dubb reading pretty much all day. My back is killing me and I've been foam rolling ever since but it was worth it.

Almost done. So close. The crap pile is getting smaller.

After our mulch run, we stopped by the vet's office where we board Loo Loo Bell when we go on vacation. When we board her, we always drop her off with her special towel from home because it has her smells on it and she's used to it. Every time we pick her up, we discover that they have washed the towel, replaced it with one of their ratty ones, and our deluxe beach towels usually "disappear." Back in June when we got back from Japan, they "misplaced" our last remaining beach towel from Hawaii. We were jet lagged and grumbled about it.

A couple of days ago, they called me and said they found one and would I like to come pick it up? Um, aloha and mahalo, buddy. So now this one can sit on her cage in style once again.

So all is well and we are celebrating the 3-day weekend over here. Hope you're having a good one!
