anyhow, a few things that happened tonight made us feel a little more hopeful about people and restored our faith that good people are out there. we decided to eat at jackalope for dinner (they have the most amazing burgers - for only $5.50!! with fries!) anyway we were sort of chatting with an older couple sitting near us on and off while we ate. they were warning me that i didn't have enough light to do the craft i had brought along (more on that later) - didn't want me to ruin my eyes. anyhow, we were just hanging out after we ate finishing our beer and watching a basketball game. as i mentioned i was crafting - swedish weaving (see example below) - a towel for a wedding we are going to next month. the bartender (a manly man in his late 20s/early 30s) asked me what i was making - i explained and he told me how great he thought they were and that i should sell them. i just thought that was the best compliment (especially since i was sitting in a sports pub with a needle and thread...most would find this weird). i will now be moving on to making this bartender towels... he is nice...
...i'm lazy so i usually only do 1 row of design, but they are still pretty...
then we went downstairs to close our tab and the nice bartender informed us that the people upstairs had already covered us. WHAT?@?!! complete strangers we had barely talked to paid for our dinner! we couldn't believe it. we went upstairs and thanked them. they told us they just thought we were such nice kids and wanted to do something nice for us!
i know its a small thing, but we left the bar with a newfound faith in people...
on that note...i'm headed to bend for a weekend of wedding stuff with the girls! i'll be back sunday with lots of new stuff to report!
