First time for everything

Last night Greg and I had a date planned - to see the free Shakespeare in Zilker Park - "Dream: A Midsummer Night's Dream" set to 60's music with a live band on stage. Hmmmmm, sounded interesting.

However in our planning we assumed (bad) that we could do what we always do at Shakespeare - have in fact done since before our engagement at "Taming of the Shrew" in 2000, drink wine!

Well, come to find out you may not drink alcohol in Zilker Park. Who knew?

The plans had to be changed and now there was another couple involved. One of our employees and his girlfriend. . . We ended up having a lovely dinner with Dan and Kristi at Trulucks downtown Austin.

Tonight we will have the meal that was prepared for our Shakespeare picnic before we dash off to Elise and Caleb's first piano recital. Ever.

The meal is Basil Dressing Vinegrette over pasta with cold shrimp, french bread, salad and wine of course. I splurged and bought some nice cheeses to go with our bread last night. The kids have already eaten the bread and Greg has agreed to buy another loaf on the way home.

Looking forward to our dinner tonight - it is actually almost the same meal Greg prepare the night he proposed almost 11 years ago. God is so good to us - I can barely take it in!
