Sugar high . . .

Mine on the left

This is the cat's meow.

Odd week in some ways. Monday I had to take a pill that I need every once in a while to fight off the effects of an antibiotic I need every once in a while.  So Monday I was a wild dervish, walking at the park, coming home to wash all the bedding I could possibly find, dusting and vacuuming. Tuesday after an excellent breakfast and walk at the park I returned home and started to throw stuff out of my closet. P&D's Pop came to see what I was up to and didn't seem concerned. That's a good thing! I got rid of so many shirts and some really old clothes that I haven't worn in years. I know that I'll never wear them and I'm not quite sure why I kept them except that I hate to shop and really don't know what I like even after all these years. When I shop for clothes I often buy what's available in the closest stores and when I get home I generally hate what I've bought and only wear it once before going back to my old faithful jeans and t-shirts. Well after dumping the old clothes into an extra large trash bag and throwing it in the trash - I have not seen any Salvation Army bins here - we had to go out to get P&D's Pop some copies of blueprints he had received in an e-mail. It just so happens that Office Depot is right next to Stage! Wonderful! I went to Stage but could only come up with one pair of capris. None of their tops are cotton and I am not comfortable in man made fabrics for blouses and shirts of any kind. So when we returned home I did as I usually do I ordered a few tees from LLBean and a pair of shorts from DYDJ. Yes, they're expensive but they're comfortable and that's what counts.

I received an invitation from a very nice southern friend to accompany her to Arnaudville today. I left the house at 9am and returned around 6:30 this evening. Oh what a great day we had. We ate lunch at The Little Big Cup. It is a exquisite place in the sense that it is perfect for dining but not over the top fancy - just a great dining room plus so much more. I ate a cochon au lait sandwich with fries and it was excellent. Amy had cochon au lait tacos and for dessert she had  bread pudding while I opted for the dark chocolate cake with deeply flavored coffee frosting. We took a few photos in town before driving off to sight see. On the way home to stopped at the Crawfish Boss for Snow Balls, yes they have snow balls on the menu. It is a drive through only restaurant. The line around the building was incredible but moved along rather smoothly. I had no clue what to order but Amy showed me their snow

ball menu on her phone and I figured it out. I had a blackberry snow ball with extra blackberries, ice cream sauce and cheesecake. Okay, gotta tell y'all that I have never tasted fresh fruit that was as delicious as this snow ball. I ate and drank the whole thing with utmost delight - just like a kid. It comes in a large styrofoam cup with a spoon and a straw. I left nary a drop in the cup, which is why I am sitting here at 10pm writing. I wish.  I could do the day justice in words but I can't. Suffice it to say that the company was excellent. Amy sent me home with a very large piece of cake for P&D's Pop which he sampled as soon as I got in the door. I didn't dare eat any more today but tomorrow I shall have some after supper. I know that it is chocolate and praline frosting, I believe. I shall have gained umpteen pounds but I'll work it off by extra walking - maybe!
