Blue Parrot is closing, a sad day indeed :(

First off I want to thank everyone for their encouraging words from yesterday.
Wow I just kind of poured my heart out there didn't I, teehee.

Today I received some Happy mail from Patti :)
I love me some happy mail :)
                     
I found out some sad news for our family today. The restaurant that we love so much is closing.
It is called the Blue Parrot. It is a family owned business, and has gone through a few generations. They had the best Hot Turkey Sandwich I have ever had.
In our family if it your birthday, you get to choose which restaurant to celebrate it at. Heather always picked The Blue Parrot, she loved their Chicken Cesar Salad.
We are running out of family owned restaurants :(
Guess where I'm going for lunch tomorrow :)

Onto My Day:
Took my walk :)
Checked on my FIL's wife's cat. They are away and asked if I could check on her.
Picked Kristy up from school as she has a spare after lunch, and was bored. I told you I am a push over, teehee.
Worked on Pea's mini most of the day. This mini is just kicking my butt. I think it is because the mini that Pea made for me was so stunning, I want mine to be equally as beautiful.
We should have put them in the mail at the same time :)

Hope you had a creative Wednesday :)

  1. Nice snail mail you received. Lots of goodies to practice your colouring.
    Sorry to hear one of your favourite restaurants is closing. It's hard to a local place close up'
    Pretty quiet day around here. The grandkids were around for a while.
    My son-in-law got his lancer(car) back up and running and little harlee says--I think Dad's car has a problem. I so get a kick out of her.
    Happy Wednesday, Tracy.

  5. I'm always so bummed when a favorite restaurant closes. You may be eating there A LOT the next few weeks huh? ;) You're getting quite the collection of images! I bet Pea's album will be beautiful!

    As for my basket, I'm thinking loose rubber stamps or new product that I want to be sure and use. :)

  6. I hate it when local places like that shut down! One that I grew up going to (no longer close to where I live) is closing it's doors after 40 years. It's a little sad.

  11. The stamps are gorgeous... A rabbit in a bubble bath!!! There is nothing cuter than that :)
    Yesterday's post was profound and very meaningful; it touched my heart. If what you have been doing is called an obsession, then let it be. For me, it was not obsession, it was determination.
    Way to go, girl!! :) :D
