Date Night...Aborted by lauriehiggins

Date Night...Aborted

We started off on the right foot. Steve left work early and we took a sunset walk on the beach together. He found me a (sort of) heart shaped rock. The sunset fizzled, but we were still hopeful. We went out for burgers at a local pub. All good.

But just as I was ready to quickly post my photo and get out the Scrabble game, our oldest daughter called me and I have been on the phone helping her write an application essay all night. On to some late night Scrabble...I think...or maybe just cards.

*Edit - We did play Scrabble and as of now Steve is one game ahead of me. Thank you for all your comments and interest in my photos. You are all the best!
Your hubby is a sweetie! Hope you get to play scrabble tonight. That's a cute rock.

Ah, motherhood, no matter what the age ya gotta do your duty and it doesn't really ever go away. My hubby and I play Scrabble most every night too. Go figure. I have been on the winning end for a run now.

I love this- the subject, light and clarity. I have a small heart shaped rock collection. Good mom!
February 12th, 2012  
That's so sweet! I love the little heart-shaped rock. It sounds like, even though it didn't go according to plan, it was a good night just the same.
February 12th, 2012  
Great shot for date night and February Valentine week.
February 12th, 2012  
Sounds like you got some of the date night in...that is good! Love the rock he found you....
February 12th, 2012  
What a great find and it still sounds like a good night. :). I get my sensor cleaned when I start noticing spots at smaller apertures.
February 12th, 2012  
It all just breaks my heart (mostly in a good way--you know what I'm talking about). Glad you got to walk, share a meal, and play despite the interruption. My daughter called from Denver to ask what color bed she should buy!
February 12th, 2012  
I think the heart shaped rock alone makes the night a success.

I always pick up rocks whenever I walk on the beach. I'm just drawn to stones and love the colors, shapes, and the feel of them. I used to keep a polished stone in my pocket every day, but....hmmm? Where is that stone and why did I stop carrying it? LOL.....now I have to go look through my chest of drawers and find it. Funny the things certain photos bring to mind. Love this one for just that reason.
February 13th, 2012  
Aww,how sweet of Steve to find this for you! Bummer that your date night was interrupted, but I'm glad you still got to get your Scrabble on.;-)
