Wonderful, cherry pie song and wee visitor

- A delightful lunch on Wednesday at The Bone Garden Cantina with a delightful client.  We both love the food at this place, whose entrance is marked by a sombrero wearing, guitar playing skeleton.  She shares with me the news that she is going to be an aunt for the first time. We are very different in age, but have similar personalities.  And as we talk about the wonders of being an aunt, we both tear up.

- Stopping by the fun Starbucks at Peachtree Battle Shopping Center on Thursday for a latte and in an impulse at the drive thru - a little cherry tart.  The young man sings a little cherry pie song to me as he hands it out the window.  I would have taken a picture of it, because it was so cute, but it was gone in two bites.  :)  Yum.

- A wee granddaughter visits the printing company with her grandpa for the day.  She is very shy, but loves to come there for the day with him.  When she comes to say goodbye, I ask her if she has any games at home.  "I have Chutes and Ladders!" she says.  We plan for her to bring that next time so we can play.

I hope good things happen to you this weekend, my friends!  Have a great one!

Rosemary, contentment and fun at Starbucks

- Realizing I have everything for my stew except dried rosemary, but remembering there is a rosemary bush that the condo owner downstairs planted a couple of years ago.  (I have an open invitation to pilfer at will.) Is it still there?  Yes it is.  I clip a little, take the knife and cutting board to it and in several minutes my home smells fragrant from a slow cooking stew.   And my fingers smell awesome.

- A chocolate dipped strawberry and a glass of red wine.  Pure contentment.

- Starbucks drive thru window employee, as I drive up to the window to get my latte:  "Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp or George Clooney?"
Me:  Thinking for a second.  "George Clooney." (Sorry Scarlet.) 
Starbucks drive thru window employee:  "Congratulations!  George Clooney wins!  Your vote has put him over the top!"
Me:  "What does he win?"  (Giggles from other employees inside as SDTWE hands me my latte.)
Starbucks drive thru window employee:   "The support of the entire Starbucks staff."  (And a new Label for my blog - see below.)
