Slice of Life: Saturday Night Fun!

Today I join my fellow bloggers in "serving up a slice" 

to the Tuesday Slice of Life (SOL) community.

Thanks to Stacey, Tara, Betsy, Dana, Beth, Anna, Kathleen, and Deb

                   for hosting this meeting place each Tuesday and nurturing our writing lives.

What's this?
A mid-afternoon text
inviting me out
on a date tonight?  
A quick check 
of my calendar...
Yes!  
I'm available.
My dates arrive in
a carriage large
enough for five
and whisk me away for
a delicious dinner:
pizza,
carrots,
tomatoes 
(a fruit, one
date reminds me), 
milk,
AND 
homemade hot donuts
with chocolate frosting 
and sprinkles!
After dinner 
and before dessert,
my dates make
 a quick
costume change 
accompanied by
giggled conversations
over the intercom.
And away we go 
for the second half 
of our evening.
Stories with Meg Lippert,
songs with Nancy Stewart,
dancing by all,
and fun with friends
at Island Books'
PJ Story Hour.  

No visit to Island Books is complete without time

to romp in the playhouse in the children's section!
