Surprisingly Fun Day

Being surprised with an extra nice day is so fun.  (Of course, now I'm wondering if the opposite will happen too -- why do I think like this?????)

Duke and I had a good run at the park.  Fall-like morning again.  Finished the workout and met another pup and they got to hang out.  Sweet old man with his old dog.  Unfortunately, Duke's back leg is bugging him again so he'll need to take it easy for a few days.

Quick shower and headed to True Food and Whole Foods (I tried to get ahead of the lunch crowd).  You aren't able to park at Whole Foods and walk somewhere else or they boot you so I had to do double parking on a super crowded day.  It's one of those new outdoor, higher end shopping, dining, living places.  Anyway ... I thought I might need to bag True Foods because of parking and a perfect spot opened up right before me.  Yes!

Walked over in an area I don't often shop and passed an EverEve store.  I've shopped online before, but never knew there was a store too.  Turns out the business has an interesting start -- woman owned and wanted a boutique shopping experience for woman who aren't in their 20s but want something fashion forward.  You can schedule a personal shopping experience too.  Every store has a shelf of the books that inspired the founder to start her business.  I've read many of these, but a couple are going on my list.  I had such a fun shopping try-on and a good chat with the woman helping me.  All fall goodies -- pictures coming.

I opened up the new Jen Hatmaker book club box for October.  This sounds GOOD and I'm taking it to Asheville with me tomorrow.  The gift was a bracelet -- Keep Going.  Are you serious????  My birthday year motto this year.  I write it everyday.  

I got takeout from True foods with enough for today's lunch too.  All vegetable dishes and a GF, vegan squash pie (2 slices).  I have the 2nd one waiting for me this afternoon.  

Coffee with the bookclub friend is now lunch -- yea.  Feels like an upgrade lol.

Afternoon was a bunch of rainbow rock pre-painting, Spanish and the latest episode of Bad Sisters (Apple +).  BTW, The Good Fight got strange season 2 -- I gave up on it, but I liked Season 1.

I'm looking forward to today too.  Bean's Bee Farm tour -- FINALLY!  Fingers crossed I don't get stung.  I'm also going to organize my closet.  It's out of control and I need to do a little editing.  I got some Command hooks for the shoe and bag closet too.  It's a mess.

Tomorrow is a road trip with the pups to Asheville.  I'll pack in the morning because it's easy peasy.  I'm in no rush to get there (except wanting to be in time for bookclub).  The weather looks cool and crisp.  I don't have any plans except receive the rug delivery on Monday between 2-4 o'clock.  That gives me the morning to do something.  I usually like to have a plan, but I've been making a lot of plans lately.  Unscheduled feels right for this quick trip.

Whenever I water this plant, its flowers give off the best scent for a couple of days.  I got it 2 years ago at Trader Joe's.  I finally looked it up.  The flowers are so pretty they look fake.

I'm excited for the bee farm tonight.  Not excited for the time of the tour, but I'm still doing it.  Weather is cooperating so as long as the farmer doesn't cancel, I'm good to go.  Fingers crossed.

Have a great Saturday.  Later gators.
