| Hiking at Colfax Day Date #22 |
Hello Friends,
Well, I just am not going to keep up with sharing my 52 day dates with you. I do not want to feel stressed about it. I will share the real fun ones. Ha! We are doing something fun each week. It might just be a movie night, it is something I am documenting for my photo book I plan to make for Jeremy. I take a photo of each of our dates.
Our current Day Date story is here
Going back to Day Date #22 we went to Colfax. We went hiking. It was a beautiful day.
We ate at the Blind Tiger.
It was a fun place sharing the history of the speakeasy.
A "blind tiger" is slang for an illegal establishment that sells alcoholic beverages, commonly known as a speakeasy. The term originated in the 19th-century United States from venues that charged admission to see a "blind tiger" as a front, but actually provided customers with an illegal drink to evade liquor laws.
Several of our day dates are going for walks.
We should have put something down in the photo to show how small it was, but let me tell you this was a wee little turtle.
On the one trail we like to hike we see these three deer often. 
Can you spy the turtle? 
We always love this view as it changes with the seasons. 
A baby turtle. 
We went thrifting for one of our day dates #19. This was Dell's Architectural Antiques and it was very unique.
Day Date #23 we watched the "new" Sabrina with Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond and Greg Kinner.
Day Date #25 we had another movie night. We watched the "old" Sabrina.
I like how intentional you are with being together in nature. Your nature shots are so good (as is your selfie- you guys look so cute and happy together!). I have never heard of the new Sabrina movie or the old one. Now I am interested in both! Thanks for virtually taking us along on your dates :).
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see that baby turtle. That thrift shop looks like something I would have wanted to peruse. The small town I worked at when I first started my work career had a speakeasy in the basement of a restaurant. You had to have the password to get in during prohibition, but now anyone can go down there. Also we use to frequent a real house in that same town where they also had a speakeasy in their basement. It remains as a bar in the basement to this day. I do not remember seeing the old Sabrina and I love old movies. Will have to check it out. Janice
ReplyDeleteI was starting to feel pressure to record them too which took away some of the fun. Ours are mostly walks and food lol. I prefer the newer Sabrina too. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be such a neat book and a wonderful gift for Jeremy. That was a lot of smoke and I'm sorry it made things difficult for that particular date. Carla...I think it is so neat how your dates include doing things outdoor. The perfect place to make sweet memories...We have not watched either of the Sabrinas....I might need to explore this opportunity... have a wonderful week Carla...
ReplyDeleteI love that you are documenting your sweet time together for your date night. So happy the smoke is starting to move out. Love that sweet little turtle you met up with. Have a good week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteCarla, your day dates are delightful. I especially liked the day of thrifting. Sometimes we can find the best stuff on those casual days of browsing. That wee turtle is so cute. I'm glad you didn't step on it hehehe. That trail must look beautiful in Fall. Speaking of old and new movies....the new Little House on the Prairie episodes are on Netflix now. Just finished season 1. I think you would enjoy them, Carla. It shows the real frontier and all that goes with it. Have a wonderful week. Love that picture of you and Jeremy, by the way. ; )
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little turtle. I'd not heard of the term "Blind Tiger" before. That thrift store looks fun.!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, dear friend. The baby turtle 🐢 is so cute.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great day dates! That turtle is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! And I learned something about the Blind Tiger. you guys are so cute! The thrift shop looks so fun and unique. Did you buy anything?
ReplyDeleteI did spot the turtle on the trail. I'm guessing that's not the little one in the road? And the view of the trail (right under the turtle in the grass one that I spotted) made me do a double take. It looks exactly like the view along the bike trail behind my apartment complex.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing really well with the dates and are doing so much fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful Dates! Good for you all! I am going on a date tonight with my Sweet Man!
ReplyDeleteThat turtle is darling! And I love thrift shops! Did you buy anything?
Happy Week to You!
Look at what a cute couple you are enjoying your dates!! I love reading about what you’ve done and seeing your pictures. Keep on having fun! ❤️
ReplyDeleteI like your dates. I hope the turtle found a safe place to settle. We haven't been able to go anywhere together since Minnie has been sick.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun dates! We went to our first estate sales last Friday as part of our day date.It was fun! I think I've seen the new Sabrina but it's been awhile! We watched Twins with our daughter recently and it holds up! That turtle was so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these lovely dates . . .
ReplyDeleteThat turtle is so cute!
All the best Jan
I love hearing about your dates Carla. Cute turtle.
ReplyDeleteI love how y'all are doing these dates....what a super idea! BTW Sabrina is a favorite movie of mine.
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds like fun. It is so sweet that you two are doing this. I love the turtle, they are a favorite of mine. Hope you have a great week.
