Lazy

And just like that the weather gets cold again and I don't want to run tonight.  I keep telling myself that my knee is hurting, my back is achy, well they don't know that I am going to run anyway.  I am telling myself that I only have to do 2 miles but once I get dressed for the 30 degree run I might as well do 3. 

Yesterday I had to go in the field for work to a location about an hour away.  When I first started working for the Government I worked in the area as a Park Ranger so I drove all over the place.  I found some of the neatest places.  One of those was a tea room close to the project office I worked out of.  I loved the golden cheese and parsley dumpling soup they served and for some reason I remembered they served it on Wednesdays.  So I went there for lunch.

It was just as good as I remembered.  I forgot all about the homemade bread.  Unfortunately I remembered how yummy the desserts were and they sat me at a table with Italian Cream Cake at eye level

totally unfair.  I bought a piece of cake and took it home to split with Dennis.  There is still a half of a piece left, it is so rich and yummy.  The owner told me they are doing a Valentines Day dinner with prime rib or Italian stuffed chicken breast, a three course dinner for like $25 each.  Totally worth it.  I talked Dennis into taking me.

On the way back I drove by my old house.

I loved that house.  It was built in the 1920's, had arched doorways, hardwood floors, and a claw foot tub.  It was also freezing cold in the winter and like a furnace in the summer.  It was just a rent house but something about it just reminds me of simpler times.  That is were I lived when I brought Hunter home and I have so many good memories.  I am sure there are some not so good ones too but I don't really remember any.

And seriously, no punking out on the run.  I will do it!!
