Today started off as usual. Dad left for work at 7. I woke up at around 7:30 and so did Mimi. Then while I was getting ready for the day, Mimi did her usual playing in her room or as I call it "goofing off" as she was supposed to be getting ready for school. Then she tries to pull the wool over my eyes by putting on a short sleeve t-shirt along with pants and says she is ready dressed. Oh so NOT! It is cold and damp in the morning nowadays. And she is sniffling but I think it is the allergies. Claritin seems to be working on that one.
On the other hand she sometimes cannot help but wear summer shirts as they have yet to put out the winter clothing. Those darn stores! However I recieved an ad today that starting tommorrow Kohl's is having a 50-55% sale and it looks like there are some long sleeved shirts on sale. Will have to check them out.
Then while everyone was gone and it has not started to rain yet I thought that I would get out back and prune my garden for the winter months. That means pulling out the weeds, cutting back on all of the perrineals. The backyard is looking quite bare compared to this past summer. It is supposed to start rainning tommorrow. All the clouds are coming up from Southern California. You guys are supposed to bring the sunshine, not the rain! Then by next week it should taper off. Then I will get out in the garden again and plant my bulbs for the Spring. Going to plant more Daffodils, Hyacinths and Tulips. Those are my favs.
Gardening is very carthartic for me. I love it. By the time I was done, I smelled like celery (I have a celery plant growing. It is actually an herb), I was pooped and it time to pick up Mimi from school. Came home, cleanned up and headed for piano lessons. When that was over Mimi and I headed over to Costco for a few grocery items and hopped onto the 18 freeway and met dad at Jak's Grill in Issaquah. It was deeelllliiicious! Heard about that place from Keri.
We have been here 3 years already and slowly but surely we have found some great places to eat dinner. There is Salty's in Alkai Beach, The Melting Pot in Bellevue, 272 "It's Whatcha Want" in Covington, Mizu in Covington and now Jak's Grill. Still have to try out The Swinging Arm in Black Diamond.
The only stinky part about tonight is that I am pretty sure that I have left my camera at the restaurant. Argh!!!!! They open at 4 in the afternoon and I found out that there is a train museum behind the bar and grill. I may leave a little early and take Mimi there to look around.
Although we have the cosmopolitan cities like Seattle, there are quite a number of small towns that still have that small town feel like walking down main street in Disneyland. Issaquah is one of them. It is a very quaint little town. I love it.
