a date or two

the first being an Astros game several weeks ago attended by several other couples in our Sunday school class, and my bro and wife.

the second was last Friday night when Michael planned our date, dinner and entertainment at the Aquarium restaurant downtown.
The calamari was good, but the dinner was quite possibly the worst I have had in a long time. I ordered one of the "favorites," as advertised both by the menu and our waitress. It was a soggy lettuce salad that was absolutely, positively bland...a few kernels of corn, even fewer black beans, tasteless avocado, and bland wonton strips were all that were in this salad. The shrimp on the top were edible but also very bland, despite their tortilla out-crust. (and anyone who knows me, knows that I prefer my food more bland than heavily seasoned...that means this was BLAND) Michael was equally unimpressed.
We agreed that some of the fish were interesting. Our favorite was the Shovelnose Guitarfish, which had an irridescent snout. Sorry the pictures are so blurry...camera phone.

Glad ya'll got to go on a date or two! It's nice to be able to go out without the kids for a few hours. How did you find your babysitter?

ONe was church PNO. The other? We have a list of several girls we have used. First choice is a really sweet girl who lives near us and goes to our church. We have also used girls from the neighborhood (know the moms and also from Christian homes)
