Twigs at Twelve on the Twelfth by Twain



Today, the Twelfth at Twelve  I went with the Fun Bunch on the "Twain"  so we could have lunch at Twigs.  We had such a fun time.  I had to laugh when Patti didn't show up and when I called her she had thought it was happening tomorrow.  I wonder how she missed "Twigs at Twelve on the Twelfth"?  She met us at Twigs since she missed the Twain.  Speaking of Twain...I thought it would rain and so I grabbed a few umbrella's which of course we didn't end up needing.  I hope it did rain somewhere though and that someone found the umbrella left behind when we boarded the train and that they will pay a good deed forward when they get a chance...or by mistake like we did. ☺  
We were hurrying to Twigs to meet Patti but had to stop for pictures at a place that had lovely purple chairs.  Have you ever tried a Roxberry?  I hadn't even heard of it before.  But the chairs are beautiful aren't they?  The cardboard man is the only male in our pictures today, well except for the guy on the wall of the train behind me and Jodi who I noticed was positioned very well for our picture.
                                 
Twigs is a nice place and we had a great lunch.  Jodi asked if they did anything for birthdays and they said yes they would give us a free dessert.  Well we celebrated mine and Jodi's birthdays and got two huge, yummy desserts.  How cool was that?  Very cool...and very yummy!
                               
I'm not sure why I like taking pictures of the food we eat but I do it a lot.  I think I just like food and I enjoy how nicely it is presented.  So there's the food we had today.
One of the store's I really wanted to go to was Charming Charlies.  I had heard so much about it and so we went there first.  Some of the other gals wanted to go there too.  It is a fun store with lots of jewelry and accessories. It was a great store for photo opportunities. I think we look glamorous and stunning.  I found and bought a purse for when I am Glinda. It's just a little purse with bling that will fit my camera, money and treats for the kids. ☺
We were running out of time and had to hurry through a few more stores before we went back to the train.  We had a little fun in a candy shop.  I love candy shops with all their bright colors.  Someday I really want my kitchen to look like a candy shop. (however if it did I might not like visiting the candy shops as much)

We only had a minute or two more and so a few of the gals ran into Gordman's and Jodi and I went to a Home Decor store.  We bought Halloween items.  Jodi got some cute purple bottles...not sure if they were potions or poison...but do know they were cute.  We each got a spiderweb bowl with a purple spider hanging from it.  Dang Cute!

It was hot and even though the time said we had time to get to the train-we saw a train and thought we needed to run. (wrong train) I think I got a little heat stroke.....my face was flushed and red and I got a headache.  Thanks goodness Linda had water and I had an umbrella for shade. I think those things helped but I still didn't feel good the rest of the night.  (I'm a bit of a pansy..I know)

It was a lot of fun and looking at the pictures makes me laugh and enjoy the fun we had.  If you want to make life more fun...take a camera with you and capture your fun with a picture.
