Date night (5-29-10)

A funny story...Michael and I had the luxury of a "date night" thanks to both grandparents.  We went to one of our favorite BYOB restaurants.  We usually sit down and Michael goes over to the wine store a block away to pick up a bottle of vino.  Since we've been living in MD for a few months, we were unaware that our favorite wine store had closed in PA.  So here we are sitting outside without any wine ;-(  Our waitress over hears our conversation and woes about the lack of wine and said that the store owner next door often times has wine bottles.  A few minutes later, the store owner comes out to speak with someone she knows at the next table.  Michael goes over and asks if she has any wine and she goes back to the store and comes out with the larger size wine bottle.  She said to cork up the rest of the unused bottle and return it to her.  We offer her some money for saving us and she said to return the favor next time we are in town by dropping off a bottle of wine.  We told her that we live out of state now and she took our offer.  I thought it was a sweet ending to a great night  ;-)
We even got free entertainment during dinner.  This college age kid was sitting on the porch rail and there was some drinking involved.  We were betting each other to see if the guy would fall off the porch.  (he didn't)
