We are going to out dinner for our usual Friday night date night. We’ve been doing this for years and years, and the funny thing is that both of our married sons do the same thing! I love it! I’m all showered and made up. All I have to do is put on my new sundress and strappy heels, jewelry, and a spritz of perfume. Tonight will be a romantic dinner. We are taking the convertible and have reservations on the deck at our favorite seafood restaurant overlooking the water. They also have a live band, which my hubs and I love. Tomorrow night is friends night. ~ Disregard the carrot photo as my husband did last week! ~

You better be dining on more than just one small carrot!

@DianneN That carrot might pass as a garnish for me.

Thank you! We just got home and it was very nice on the water. I knew a member of the band. I used to teach with her years ago, and what a voice she has! Who knew?

@DianneN I wish I had a great voice. Always wanted to be a singer but I wasn't gifted with that voice at all. Good to know you had a great time. I prefer my carrots raw.

Thanks. He prefers his carrots cooked. We had a wonderful time. It was a great night for the convertible and sitting outdoors. I couldn't believe that I knew one of the band members. I taught with her years ago. What a super voice she has!!!!

Thank you Amber! It's amazing to see the things my boys do that we do. I think it's so adorable. I hope we taught them well! See you later!

@DianneN I think the fact that they follow in your foot steps with date night is evidence enough that they listened well enough when you were teaching them things. Sometimes it's just a matter of leading by example.

It is a perfect night for a romantic waterfront dinner. We had leftovers lol But hubs were prime rib, not a bad leftover and I finished off my potato salad. I am sure I don't need to tell you to enjoy yourself.

Thanks, Iz. Prime rib is not a bad leftover to have! It was a very nice night overall. I love our date nights, even though sometimes I feel like poking a fork in his eye.

Tonight is special for sure. Its Apollo Day, as hubby made sure I knew. Its the anniversary of the landing on the moon. He's an engineer graduate so this is a big sneeze. We're taking a friend to dinner. You sound like you will be very nicely dressed. I'm not dressing too much more than usual though I will put on other slacks than the rather weary ones that I've got on now.

I too found it funny that she came up with a carrot there...but you never know these Americans. I have tough time understanding their subtle meanings (I pretend to understand). I am direct in my approach.

This is a wonderful thing, it's great that both your sons are doing it too . Me and my wife, we try to do something similar, but we barely find some time available. This will change . That carrot made me picture a bunny rabbit . And it left me wondering if it's the right choice for a "dinner for two".

That sounds romantic and fun. I wish someday I could do that with my mom but my mom does not like eating in a restaurant because it is expensive. She prefers us to eat at home rather than going out. I think perhaps it is because she cannot have a long walk too so she does not like going out.
