More often than not we take pictures of the rare or unusual events of our lives. And rightly so. It is best to catch them on camera so we can later recall them with laughter, tears or what have you.
Having a non-functioning dvd player left us wondering how to spend our Friday night. Typically we relax and let Richard unwind and enjoy the comforts of home in front of the boob-tube. A good movie and a bowl of popcorn.
Any spouse of a traveler knows this worn out argument. Richard wants to eat at home, he’s tired of eating out. Jo wants to eat out, she’s tired of eating at home. With the promise of a homecooked meal on Saturday Richard took us all to Red Robin. (Not Five Star, but very family friendly.)
We then headed to my favorite, but not oft enough visited, place in Boise. Powell’s Sweet Shoppe. We all picked a treat, I enjoyed some peanut butter gelato and then we headed home. That is what I should have photographed. Gelato. NOT ordinary.

It’s true we usually only remember to photograph those fun or different activities. I have been trying to be better at the everyday photos. Like everyone making dinner, playing a game, you know. It helps me alot though to keep that camera out and ready!

I love it! What a fun night. Sometimes it’s the ordinary things that make our life so spectacular.

When Gordon travelled when the boys were little, we had the same issues with eating at home vs. eating out. You are so awesome at handling everything with Rich gone. He is lucky to have you. And it doesn’t hurt that the money is good either.

That Powell’s Sweet Shoppe looks really cool. I haven’t been there. What a fun family stop. Enjoy your time with him home.
