'Celebrate the small things' is a bloghop
instigated by VikLit on her blog Scribblings of an Aspiring Author and co-hosted by Diana Wilder, LG Keltner @ Writing Off the Edge, Cyborg Mom (Katie) and CaffeMaggieato @ mscoffeehouse.
Details are here. This week, I'm celebrating having had a couple of days off. On Wednesday I had lunch with my 'boys' at a cafe in town that didn't look that promising from the start, but actually served up one of the best panini I've ever had - and believe me, I've eaten A LOT.
Don't shoot me down, but I've never understood the whole Halloween thing (though I have friends who mark Samhain, which seems slightly more sensible). I was the spoilsport mother who didn't let her children go trick-or-treating, but if you and yours are traipsing the streets tonight pestering folk, I hope you stay safe.
We live in a rural area, so our celebrations were always parties at home. Safe. Sensible and tons of family fun.
ReplyDeleteThat's the best way, I agree.
DeleteI'll be eating my own chocolate - happens every year!(smile) Lunch with the kids is always a treat. Take care.
ReplyDeletePanini is a favorite of mine- so it's always great to find a place that does one justice. Love visiting with the kids. Bought myself a bag of chocolates - I'm in for the night! Take care.
ReplyDeleteI don't why a panini is so much tastier than a plain toasted sandwich, but it is.Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSometimes the best places are one's that surprise you.
ReplyDeleteMmm. Love panini! I hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I was the spoilsport mother also, Julia. Bah humbug.
ReplyDeleteWe're not miserable, Wendy, we simply have different standards. ;-)
DeleteHaha...Halloween probably seems weird if you're not into it. I love it and I love getting dressed up. Last year my son was the Joker (from Batman) and he let me do his makeup and everything...I had a blast :)
ReplyDeletePaninis....yummmmm
