John and I got all gussied up and went out for a date last night....you forget how fun and important that stuff is even when you are married! We started off at rice.spice.noodle in Mystic, CT where we gobbled up pad thai, drunken noodles, and thai iced tea. We then jammed over to Watch Hill, RI where we caught a stellar sunset and indulged in a little PG-rated smoochfest. We then moseyed on over to St. Clair Annex and split a fresh peach ice cream cone. It was amazeballs. I spyed the most gorgeous horse on the way over there....a spotted beauty that put its wooden carousel kin to shame. I love spending nights like that with my hubby.

NOTE:  We got some frightening news about Uncle Doug's health this morning...we would all be very grateful if you could say a little prayer for him. Each and everyone counts.
