Sunday morning finds

Now that I'm mobile again, we decided to head out Sunday morning for a little adventure.  After a breakfast of French toast and bacon, we took the bus to our favorite bubble tea shop (we don't actually get bubble tea, rather we prefer a delicious chocolate drink without the tapioca balls).  There's a park nearby and we sat while Dag ran around the trees.  We had a nice chat with a Chinese woman who is studying English.  Then we decided to head down the street in a direction we had never gone before.  We found a couple great shops that sold lovely housewares and accessories, including Japanese zakka items.  Of course, I was in heaven!  I resisted most of the adorable items but did take home these:

a little tin for storing colored pencils

some sweet buttons

little clips for hanging artwork

And my favorite purchase of the day, a chalkboard for writing the weekly menus!

It wasn't until after I bought the chalkboard that I realized I didn't have any chalk.  Fortunately, a friend has some and has agreed to share with me!  The board has French writing on it but it doesn't really make any sense -- especially the "/g..." but I love it despite this, or maybe because of this.

Admittedly, this post would be more interesting if I had pictures of the actual adventure but we forgot the camera.  Maybe next Sunday!
