34 years and counting...

For the first time in many, many years, Kevin and I did not spend our anniversary 

at a temple.  Over the years we've been to the Laie, Switzerland,

Chicago, and Nauvoo temples, and of course, Idaho Falls --where we were married.

Last night, we went to a recommended Italian restaurant

to celebrate.  And we took A & E with us because I didn't want

to fix something for them (and Ellie has been wanting some

decent spaghetti.)

 The food was excellent.

The atmosphere? Somewhere between gauche and 

over-done?  It was actually all done in white, with

blue lighting.  It looked like a supper club from a Fred Astaire movie.

Indeed, all the signs said it was a "Super Club".

 Despite the color blue being an appetite suppressant,

we enjoyed our meal and spending time together.

(A & E pretended their half of the table was separate from ours,

 to avoid intruding on our date.)

This morning, the girls were out of school--again--(parent-teacher conference time)

and we went back to the Walking Street for shoe shopping.

I wanted a picture of the huge tree that looks like a banyan tree--

except it is actually a construction with Virginia Creeper

all over it.  At least some of its leaves will be turning red.

Not many colorful leaves here--no hardwoods.
