We embarked on our second official nightly constitutional tonight, and made it about 15 minutes out before being chased home by the rain. Now we are wet, but it does feel good to get out and move after dinner. As the carpets are being cleaned tomorrow, we gleefully refrained from wiping our wet feet before entering the house.

My parents called tonight, having just found their anniversary gift - they cleverly postponed their dinner (without telling us!) to tonight. The restaraunt was intelligent enough to hold their champagne and riesleing until tonight. Roy's apparently treated them quite well, with a bonus tart (macadamia! Get your mind out of that gutter!) and ice buckets (as requested) for all the wine. Such service!

In other news, i'm pretty sure the parsley and the rosemary are soon going to be as tall as me. The sage and thyme are nothing to sneeze at either - though they're creeping OUT more than UP. We'll see how the mint does.
