My favorite kind of day and hanging with the Easter bunny.

This morning I woke up to a homemade birthday card hot off the printer and a new book called The Speed of Trust. Drew had bought it at Barnes and noble the other day while I was with my facial clients. 

Then we got dressed and headed to the new farmers market in the linen district. We played music there from about 1030am to lunch time. I took a short break to feed Sophia while drew kept the show going.  We had a few friends stop by and say hello and donate to the college fund. Lois Boylan walked over on her break from hotel 43. We also saw old friends Erin Tibbs and Lauren Church as well as Adam Gates and his little family. 

After the show, Hector Garcia, the owner of Waffle Me Up thanked us for "singing next to our waffle stand!" We responded,"Thanks for selling waffles next to us while we sing!"  We chatted with Mr. Garcia and his beautiful family for a time and left having made a new friend.  It was inspiring to see his three kids helping out and taking ownership of the family business.  Josie, Hector's pretty wife exclaimed, "You sang all my favorite songs".  They also let us know that they had made the leap of faith and moved here from Alaska four years ago where they had sold fish and chips during the tourist season and are looking forward to building their waffle business the right way here in Boise. 

We found a pretty spot with a bench so I could nurse Sophia while Drew went to get the jeep. She and I enjoyed the sunshine and the flowery trees, 

playing peekaboo and watching the passersby as they watched us as well. Did I mention Sophia was dressed like a bunny? 

We made just shy of $50 at the market and so Drew thought we should treat me to a birthday lunch. We rarely if ever eat out these days. Making a future for Sophia and paying off the medical debt accrued during pregnancy isn't leaving much for eating out and coffees. 

We chose Matador and split the Texas-sized-nachos with chorizo added along with empanadas.  It's an acquired skill that my husband has of getting the most food at a restaurant for the least amount of money. We got stuffed for under $20.  We are excited for the near future when we are debt free and able to support Boise business even more. 

Then we crossed the street to Thomas Hammer and purchased a delicious extra ginormous birthday coffee.  Sophia soon after spilled the entire concoction of chocolatey goodness over a huge portion of the floor. The handsome ginger haired barista kindly made us another of its kind called the fireball. Next time you are in there, try the fireball if you like those chocolate oranges that you smash on the table to break apart.

Then we headed home for a family nap. We dozed to stand up comedian Ben Bailey for a while and then Drew took a proper nap while Sophia lazily nursed and I finished this journal entry.

Days like this are my favorite.
