A ROAD UNKNOWN

Today was hot and humid with a threat of rain all day, no real storms though.

I had an 11 am dentist appointment for a filling. I met my daughter for coffee at about 9:30, we chatted for a while and she went home to start her day and get ready for a 2 pm to 11 pm shift at her store and I went to the dentist and came home to find my husband home from work early as a surprise. we went to our favorite fresh burrito place. I had a bowl of rice with chicken and he had tacos. I met with my brother's best friend to give him some papers from my brother's personal stuff and my husband and I stopped for an ice cream cone.

Got home and just kind of lounged. Napped on the couch for a bit then got up and tried to think of something to cook for dinner. We have a local Italian restaurant that jars there pasta sauce and sells it in the local supermarkets. It is very good, tastes more like my mom's sauce than any other jarred sauce. So I popped open a jar of that pasta sauce and cooked up a bag of frozen cavatelli and that's what we had. I didn't even make a salad, nor did we have any Italian bread with it.

After dinner my husband was such a sport. He knows I love to ride in the car so he suggested a drive up into the hills around our city. I am the type of person who loves to get lost. Now mind you, you could never get lost in this area. He however, is a cautious person, never likes to take a road he doesn't know where it goes. I love to take a road if I don't know where it goes. He was very brave last night and we drove through the hills and took roads we didn't know where they would lead. Of course we didn't get lost. The roads just lead right back down the hill. It was so relaxing and mind clearing. Some of the roads the foliage was so thick and the trees so tall that there was barely any light getting in, it was so cool. My husband I love him for this. We even drove down a paved road that lead right into a dirt road, if you don't think that made him nervous, well it did.

We got home just in time to see my neighbor heading my way for a game of Scrabble. Ahhh!!! if everyday could be like this. I know it will get better with time, this hole in my heart, but right now it is just aching so.
