one fine day

May 14, 2006, our anniversary, could not believe that it was three years already. I don’t know how but they just seem to have zoomed past us. We didn’t plan anything special, it was a Sunday morning and I was at my lazy best.

The weather was awesome. I love rains, especially when it’s just a light drizzle and not a heavy downpour. Everything is alive, fresh, as if the whole world has just had a shower. And that’s exactly how it was, outside. I wanted to get out and go for a long walk. We decided to go out for breakfast, to IHOP and drove down. With the awesome weather, I was glad that we were out.

So here we were at IHOP and there was this huge crowd queued up waiting to have breakfast. IHOP is usually crowded over the weekends during breakfast time but I had never seen so many people before. Turns out it was Mother’s Day, and there were many families waiting to be seated.

We had just reached and were wondering what to do next, with so many people ahead of us, we were sure that we would be waiting for atleast an hour or so. And then suddenly, our names were called out, they had two seats for us, yipppeeeeee…. Since almost everyone else had come in large groups; they had a tiny booth for two, available. It was just perfect.

Food was fantastic, I ordered cheese blintzes with blueberry topping, and they were yum. The place was extremely busy and lively. We were sitting right next to a window and spent time sipping coffee, talking about just about anything under the sun and looking at the traffic outside. I don’t know how long we were there, but after breakfast we just roamed around the complex doing window shopping.

The rest of the day just breezed through. We watched a couple of movies, cooked food, spoke to friends and family and just lazed around.

There was nothing fancy, nothing special, was just another day but it was a perfect one.
