Update: Date Night and Crazy Umbrella

First of all, I am sure that some of you are wondering what our crazy umbrella has been up to lately. Here is a look at where it was on Sunday morning. Although it is still alive, it did suffer a little bend in one of the arms this time. I think that I am going to try to duct tape it into the holder.

Now for an update on our date.

1. Read coupons in their entirety. We went to Merchant's and it was delicious. We were not overly impressed with our waiter, but he was alright. I had shrimp and grits, Abbey had chicken cordon bleu. They were both wonderful. We then had key lime pie, which was really yummy. I then got the coupon out when the check came. I missed the fact that it said valid on Sunday only. It was worth it though, it was really good.

2. We then drove to TPAC. We found a spot to park in outside of the garage. That was great, because the bus stop that you have to walk by when you are in the garage was full of drunks or crazy people that night.

3. The play. We saw On Golden Pond. It was good. The seats were awesome. Criticisms would include that the language was inappropriate, the younger female actor was manly and the young male actor was girly. It was a really sweet story though. The older actors were Micheal Learned from The Waltons and ______________ (can't think of his name) the guy from Father Dowling Mysteries and Happy Days. It was neat to see them.

It was a great DATE Night! Posted by Picasa

I think that would be Tom Bosley, wouldn't it? How nice of you to say Merchant's was worth it. Abbey is well worth anything you had to pay, and she is also one fortunate lady to have someone who is so willing to show her a night on the town! Glad you had a good time and hope another date night is in the near future.

Glad you two had fun. Look at your date night blog entry, and Tom Bosley's name is on there with "On Golden Pond"!!!!!

So glad you had a great date night! We haven't eaten at Merchant's in a long time. Glad the food was good even if the service wasn't the best.

Regarding your umbrella, you might try doing what we do -- remove it from the table and keep it in the garage when you are not using it.
