In their words:
We drove our box lunches over to the little park along the Platte River where Handsome proposed to me almost nine years ago. My, those trees have grown. But the size of the trees is far less striking than the size of the buildings that have sprung up over the years - glass high-rises, modern townhomes, street-level boutique retail. They go on and on. Things change.
The day was sunny, but windy and cold. We ate in the car, and then went for a walk around the park.
The food was amazing. Delicious and complex flavors, an experience satisfying to the mouth. I like a saucy sammich, which tends to mean a sloppy sammich. The lamb gyro was a tantalizing mess by the end of it. And lick-your-fingers good.
After the walk in the park, we went for cupcakes. I’m still savoring the frosting from the top of the remains of my red velvet.
Nice lunch. And the filtered sunlight this afternoon is so soft and sweet.
Happy Friday.
