Fooling Around at Friendly's

After spending most of the day hanging around the house, Jamie and I finally ventured out into the world around 4:00 this afternoon and spent some time taking pictures over by Yantic Falls. We had a good time tromping around out in the snow and even chatting with a couple other people who were out walking their dogs and enjoying the view of the area, too. Once I get the pictures sorted out, I'll post a few but most of them didn't come out anywhere near as well as I would have liked due to the lateness of the day and the overcast skies that we had all day to begin with. Still, I think there were one or two that were a'ight and might make the blog!

I had promised Jamie dinner out after we were through so she picked Friendly's, a restaurant that specializes in ice cream but makes a darned good cheeseburger and other tasty eats, too. After perusing the menu we both decided on their crispy chicken salad with honey mustard dressing and while waiting for them to arrive we played around a bit with my camera and the mirrored wall that was next to our booth ...

As a rule I hate pictures of myself but Jamie had such a good time taking these that I couldn't disappoint her and not post them. At least I managed to smile in one of them and Jamie actually did a pretty good job with the D60 for it being her first time!

Our salads were quite tasty but one of the best things about Friendly's is that most meals come with dessert in the form of what they call a Happy Ending Sundae ...

As you can see, her two scoop sundae with forbidden chocolate ice cream, Heath Bar pieces, and a dollop of whipped cream made the end of Jamie's meal very happy!

All in all it was a nice afternoon and much better than being at work where I normally spend my Friday evenings!
