I had a very leisurely morning, woke up around 6 and didn't go pick up Ellen til 10. I had coffee and a little yoga, read all my books, did a little journaling, did a word search, crocheted -- went down for breakfast, and I can't really think of anything else. It was nice though.
Then I got Ellen and we went to her store. She airbrushes T-shirts and paint signs and has converted an old gas station/mechanic's shop into a very attractive and unique business. And she helped me design my tattoo makeover. I am going to add Ephesians 2:8 and redo the cross. I am really happy about that.
El Dorado has a very nice shopping district around their historical square, and we went there and ate at a bakery/sandwich shop, ate salad. Then we walked around and did alot of window shopping, then decided to go into an antique store "just to look around." Well, I spent $150.00! - found a great original painting, an old heavy ice truck toy, and a few other things that I really like. And I didn't feel bad buying them because the space that has opened up at home is stirring my creative juices, for something different.
Then we came to my hotel room, rested a while, tried swimming but not for long because the sun had gone, then laid around for a while. We decided to eat Mexican food and then go see Men in Black 3, which was hilarious and fun!
I had to take her back home, which is in Smackover, and didn't get back here until 10:30. It was great having the day with Ellen!
A highlight of today was getting to talk to Hannah, who is in Paris, on skype. It totally amazes me.
That was a lovely day and now a cherished memory.
