Pure Joy

So here's the scoop, so to speak! This is my Great-Niece Lizzy. She was born in January and so yesterday Grandpa Mike and Grandma Joyce took her and her mom Meredith to Dairy Queen for Lizzy's 1st ice cream cone (see the "scoop" reference). Can you tell she loved it! That is something about kids, they are free and in your face with their emotions and this picture is just a treasure.

Two other moments of pure joy have occurred in the past 24 hours. First was the dinner at The Herbfarm. It so did not disappoint and I am currently doing a full write-up on the whole experience complete with pictures and will have it up over the weekend.

The other was lunch today at Elysian Brewing Company up on Capital Hill on Pike Street. What a wonderful lunch with three dear faerie brothers, Pansy, Bug and Stitch. It was a magical moment in that it was only assembled in the last 24 hours or so. A delight to see them and I have to share that using Jicama cut up to look like fries for a summer dish is a brilliant idea and I plan to copy it. So refreshing. Oh it was a joy having the day off and so now I get to still have two more days of relaxation...heaven!
