Yesterday Dan and I went to the UM Botanical Gardens in Dixboro for a walk in the woods along Fleming Creek. Beautiful fall colors, and two middle aged people with bad knees gimping along taking in all of the beauty.
After, we went grocery shopping at Whole Foods and Sam's Club.
And went for another walk through the neighborhood, then sat next to a fire in the fire bowl in the backyard for a while after dark.
It was a quiet and romantic day, very enjoyable, though our bad knees now hate both of us.
Today we will go watch Steven and his team mates play in high school boys' soccer districts against Dexter. I am expecting a Dexter win - they have gone to states the last two years, winning states two years ago.

a surprise date
Dan took me out on a surprise date back in August, a week after i had the colonoscopy. He refused to tell me what we were doing, so it was a wonderful shock and surprise when we ended up at a Spa in Ypsilanti for a couple's night featuring a long soak in a hot tub and aromatherapy massages. We then went out to dinner for Mexican food, and everything was grand.
Tonight he took me out on a mystery date again, but it was completely different. I freaked out when I saw the $100/person tickets - but he reassured me that they had been gifts (thank God - there is no way we could afford it otherwise right now). They were for a dinner and a night of gambling to raise money for the sports programs at our school district.
The food was good - especially the dessert bar. And there was gambling, which I am not into. There was an auction, though I had no money to bid on anything. There was a lot of alcohol, and I am not a drinker. As the night went on, it got louder and louder and louder. I slipped outside a lot, and also went to the basement quite a bit to watch the Red Wings on the television.
While I appreciate the thought and the gift, the whole thing gave me a headache, to be honest.
I much preferred the Spa!

Today we are heading out to the UM Botanical gardens up in Dixboro, as well as grocery shopping. I am taking my camera, as it is a perfect autumn day - wonderful for walk in the woods!
