Let's De-Stress Shall We...............

My daughter thought I needed to surround myself with something calm and peaceful for a couple of hours....And a great Cappuccino (I love that girl), so we headed out to spend a wonderful fall morning together, she had plans that painting pottery would do the trick....My calm, happy moment came to a screeching halt, I started having elementary school flashbacks, remember the ashtray we were all forced to do (or was that just my school) she assured me that it would be fun and relaxing, then she demanded I relax or she would take me back home......Our first stop was the Magpie Cafe.....This place was great....A magical daycare for coffee drinkers......


We drank a wonderful winter themed cappuccino in 85 degrees (Fall time in the south is the best) And "tried" to share a piece of homemade chocolate pound cake with fudge icing YUMMY!!!!....I can't tell you how adorable this place was.......

Then we made it over to Pottery Lane....The pressure was on...But I was relaxed.... Alison Krauss was playing in the background and the lady running it was so nice, she tried to make it a really nice experience....
My daughter had been several times so she had to show off her skills, while I stuck with simple (I was still having ashtray flashbacks)....


It was a great day, and if you ever get the chance to do this you should, of course I did enjoy the company I was with (Thank you Princess)..... and if my piece looks better than that ashtray that haunts my attention deficit mind....I might just post a picture of it......

And if anyone is interested, "Casper" is still alive and well....Sorta, in a I can't see you way.... While I was posting this, the television turned on by it's self....then it sounded like footsteps went up our stairs into a room................I DIDN'T FOLLOW!!!!
