Unexpectedly pleasant time during T Stands For Tuesday

Over the weekend, my friend Sally and I were out and about.  We had planned to spend the day shopping for necessities,
 
but got sidetracked.

I realize I've snapped photos of some of these metal art works that sit alongside the road across from the Zoo in the past,

but I had never seen this one through my lens before.

And even though it seems when I pick up my camera, Sally makes it a point to drive even faster than when I put my camera away,

I just kept shooting and was rewarded with a few shots I've never captured before (albeit a bit fuzzy).

On our way to this place we found last year, Avivo's, where we had a very pleasant dining experience, I told Sally about the photo hunt that many were participating in this year.  Much to my surprise, I found one of the required photos right outside the restaurant.  Now just 20 or so more to go!!

Once inside, I started snapping photos.

I even caught the lantern that was on the column.

Of course, it didn't take long for our pizzas to arrive, even though I failed miserably to show our drink, which is usually water (mine being with lemon, too).  Sally had something with red sauce and sausage,

while I had a veggie pizza with alfredo sauce.  I was in heaven.

I managed to redeem myself when I took photos of the brick oven,

because I managed to get a photo of the drink bar in the background.  As with the first time we were there, we really enjoyed the meal, the service, and the atmosphere.  It was unexpectedly fun, because I also got my first photo I could knock off my list, in case I decide to play in this photo challenge.

What was unexpectedly pleasant in your world this week that led you to think of something drink related?  Was it a scrapbook page you were working on, mixed media art, sewing, surfing the internet, or were you out and about like my friend Sally and I?  Please share your direct link below, so Bleubeard and I, along with the other T Tuesday gang, can visit.



And even though this posts on MY blog on Monday, it's Tuesday in much of the rest of the world by now, and time to welcome in July.
