Have you ever seen the movie Mermaids? Cher plays the mother in Mermaids, and she always makes cute shaped foods for her children. As a mother, her intentions were good, but Winona Ryder’s part as the oldest daughter did not seem to appreciate Cher’s meals. Mermaids could very well be the cause for parents not making cute food more often. Considering the recent popularity of Bento Boxes, though, perhaps cute food is regaining popularity. Crochet Diva often tries to make cute and inspiring foods for her children, and unlike in Mermaids, Crochet Diva’s girls seem to love it.

Crochet Diva’s DH graduated from Massage School in March, and a few of his former classmates decided to get together for lunch at a wonderful little Chinese Restaraunt in town. Crochet Diva and the Wee Diva went along even though they did not know everyone. Who can say no to Chinese Buffet, especially with a large sushi bar, right?? Lunch went great, and everyone caught up with what had been going on with one another. They all joked that it was their two month reunion. Crochet Diva snapped a quick photo of everyone by the fountain to post on MassageAlumni.com for the rest of their classmates to see (And hopefully be an incentive to everyone to come along next time).
As an added bonus to the day, right next to the Chinese Restaraunt, Crochet Diva spotted this little shop.
At first she thought it was a dream, but in fact, providence was working in Crochet Diva’s favor. The sign, which can hardly be read in this cell quality photo, says: “Simply Fibers”. FIBERS??? Yes!!!! Could it be??? Crochet Diva snapped a quick photo before going in to the Chinese Restaraunt, and had plans to check it out after lunch. After everyone finished eating and said their good byes, Crochet Diva dragged her DH over to check out the place. They opened the door and stepped inside to what seemed like YARN HEAVEN… (Crochet Diva resisted her urge to take a photo inside due to the small group of knitters all sitting near the door). Despite the fact that the place entire catered to the enemy AKA knitters (Just teasing, but there does seem to be some division there :-P), it was a wonderful shop. There was a small section of books for crocheters, and Crochet Diva picked up the latest edition of Crochet Today she had been wanting, and some white wool yarn for a soaker. (Now Crochet Diva would not have to insist on going to Hobby Lobby for yarn like she had previously planned). Finding the shop was a perfect ending to a perfect lunch. It was a very good day.
