Jaren took me to the Home & Garden show on Saturday. This was quite a pleasant surprise. He told me about it earlier in the week and said he wanted to go. I know he was doing it for me though. It is definitely my kind of thing. I was so excited! There were so many vendors there and we entered all kinds of drawings.
We sat through a cooking show promoting the Kitchen Craft Cookware. It was so cool that he could cook a full meal in just a couple of pots with no water or liquids! And of course it is ridiculously expensive. I also drooled over the wonderful Cutco knives that I love so much. I have a small set and I wish I had more! There were so many neat things to see but of everything there, those two would be the two big ticket items I would spend money on in a heart beat if I could.
There was one thing that I absolutely had to get though. A Smart Living Steam Mop. I've been wanting a steam mop. I am the kind of person who refuses to buy a mop when I can get down on my hands and knees with a bucket and washcloth to do a better job. The only problem is that the area I need to mop in this house is MUCH more expansive than any other place we have lived. On top of that, we plan on turning it all into hardwood. I knew I needed a new mopping alternative and this is it! It doesn't actually blow steam directly on the floor or anything. It mostly heats up the pad and at such a high temperature it sterilizes when you mop! I'm sure another post will be forthcoming once I actually try it out on my floors.
It was such a beautiful day! It was in the mid 70's and sunny. Lots of trees had blossoms and even leaves. Everything is turning green. I know many of you live in areas that are still freezing right now and are receiving or just got snow. I am extremely glad I'm not in one of those areas and for you who may be suffering in the cold ugliness of winter, I'm mentally sending you some sun. Just think, in a few more months you'll be experiencing this...
As you can tell, we still have a lot more Spring to come from the picture below but I just think this huge pink house on the river with all of the other huge houses is so funny. If you have a big expensive house on a beautiful river front, why would you paint it pink?

We also had lunch at The Boll Weevil Cafe & Restaurant. I know, that sounds gross but it was a nice little place right next to the river. I'll post more on that next. We enjoyed walking by the river and just being together. It was one of those rare, slow-paced Saturdays with no pressure to be anywhere or do anything. It was a lazy day and I loved it. I even got the tiniest bit of a tan. Did I mention I love the south? Who would have thought. I hope everyone had as wonderful of a weekend as we did!

It does sound like a perfect day!! That mop sounds good to me, too! Among other things. Those pictures are SO beautiful!! What great weather! The huge pink house on the river is hilarious!
So jealous of your spring weather. Can't wait for it to warm up but it might be a month or two (or three) before it does.
Your mop sounds cool!! Speaking of cafe's.... Adventerous Cafe has gone out of business :-(
