Follow Up

Don’t you hate how I post things and then never follow up with what happened? Last week I talked about the snow. We did end up with about 7 inches of snow. I had two days off from work and everything was a mess for awhile. However, this week we are having a few days of warmer weather melting all the snow. It’s supposed to get cold again mid week. We’ll see what happens.
RichardIII
Over the weekend we went to see Richard III at the Folger Shakespeare Library in DC. It was a great play. I had a little difficulty understanding the language but I got enough of it to understand the play. I told Warren they need to update the language to today’s english. It would make for a very dramatic play. After the play we went to a local restaurant and had a glass of wine before heading home.
TwoAmys
On Sunday we went to my favorite pizza place, 2 Amys for lunch. I love the pizza there. After lunch we walked around the National Cathedral so I could take more pictures. I have hundreds of photos of the cathedral but I always feel like I need more. I joined a DC photography group on Facebook and I’m posting some of my photos there.

On Sunday I always went bird watching and saw bird #23 for the year. It’s a Pileated Woodpecker. Each year I forget how big those birds are. They have a pretty big wingspan and are probably a foot or more tall. There were lots of other birds flying around but I have pictures of those already this year. I hope I’ll see some new birds as the spring gets closer.

Glass of Wine

I’m enjoying a glass of 2008 Melbac before dinner. Warren is making chicken and pasta while I enjoy my glass of wine. We had a very nice dinner last night for Valentine’s Day. We got each other our favorite chocolates and I’ve been eating them all day. Today we went to a winery while the snow flakes fell. Nothing accumulated but the snow flakes were fun to watch. We’ve had enough snow and are both ready for spring.

Happy Valentine’s Day

heartWhat a wonderful Valentine’s Day present! A federal judge in Norfolk struck down Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage last night, saying it violates the constitution’s guarantee of equal protection. We can’t get married yet because of appeals but we can look forward to marriage equality in Virginia in the future. I think it’s pretty amazing that this is happening in Virginia.

Later this evening Warren and I will be celebrating the victory as well as Valentine’s Day with a special dinner at a local restaurant. What a great day!

50th Birthday

Today is Warren’s 50th birthday! Happy Birthday! Last night we went to a local restaurant with some close friends and had a wonderful dinner with some wonderful wines. After dinner we went back to Warren’s house to enjoy some cake and ice cream. Warren opened his gifts as well. We had a great time catching up with our friends and celebrating Warren’s 50th birthday. I’m now younger than he is…until the end of May. Here are some pictures from the evening.
