"You and Me" Time

Mandy and I spent the afternoon together enjoying "You and Me" time.  This is time for just the two of us and we have the BEST time together! Today we had lunch at the Olive Garden and enjoyed calamari, fried zucchini and fried mozzarella (it was worth every calorie!) and then indulged in chocolate gelato with caramel sauce and dark chocolate shavings- divine!  We decided that since we had soup and salad last time that we just HAD to try something new.:-)  Then we headed to Borders and Mandy chose two new books ("Jane Eyre",which is her favorite, and "Victoria" from the Royal Diaries series)  to add to her library.  I even found a new book for my wish list- "Before Green Gables", a prequel to "Anne of Green Gables".  Have any of you read this?  We got a custom made soda for the road in the Borders Cafe.  If you have not had one before, grab your car keys and head to the nearest Borders.  They are addictive!  Mandy had an Irish Creme soda and mine was Coconut.  They top it off with cream- mmmmm.:-)
