Not another HOOTERS!

My best friend Melissa and I went to lunch on Saturday for a belated birthday celebration at The Blue Owl. Now I hope I didn't get your dander up too much with the title of this blog, but hey you gotta give me credit for creativeness.

The Blue Owl is the exact opposite of "the Orange Owl" place. Servers and hostesses alike wear turn of the century long prarie skirts and high cut tops. Actually, The Blue Owl is pretty famous in this neck of the woods. It's located in Kimswick, MO. . not that far from St. Louis. Folks from near and far flock to the restaurant for mouthwatering food! Paula Deen of the food network did a special on The Blue Owl at the end of September. So, yes there was quite a WAIT.

No fear, Melissa and I used the time to checked out all the quaint little shops. You see Kimswick is a shopper's delight. Everything and anything can be found there. I purchased a gorgeous handmade butterfly quilt and Melissa bought some beautiful angel wings and a very unique sculpture of a face/hand blowing a kiss. Wish I had a picture to post here of it, but alas. . I'm camera challenged!

With our stomaches full and the trunk stuffed to the brim with newly purchased treasures, we headed back home. All in all it was a wonderful day. Not because of the food or the shopping, but because of the time I got to spend with Melissa. And after all, that's what it's all about. Relationship. Celebration. Frienship. It's so cool the way God has wired us with that need to connect with each other.

Yup, life is good here in St. Louis with my BFF and me. As Beth Moore would say, "All this and Jesus too!" Who could ask for anything more?
