This last Saturday I had the pleasure of going on a date. Wahoo! But this was no ordinary date, it was one my husband actually planned himself. Aren’t those type so fun? We started off by scouring Anchorage for tile. Hmmm… sounds like hubby planned the evening, huh? After hitting up store after store for a tile matching our discontinued entry variety, we discovered one thing: tile is EXPENSIVE. Ouch.The only exception to this is the big box stores, which is the route we’re considering.
After home improvement shopping, we were off to my favorite Greek restaurant, Pizza Olympia. We know to always plan for a leisurely meal at this restaurant, and this occasion was no exception. Two hours later, we emerged from the eatery with full bellies and smiles on our faces.
The final stop of the night was the Sullivan Arena for Lippezanner stallion performance. I first saw the Lippezanners as a horse-crazed little girl, and it was fun to enjoy the show again as an adult. Here are a few of my favorite movements from the night:
The Capriole
The Courbette
If you’re so inclined, the Lipezzaner show will also be coming to the Menard Sports Complex this Wednesday night, July 29th. Tickets are available at CarrsTix and at Tickets.com. If you were ever a horse-crazed child, treat yourself to a night of appreciating some equine beauty and talent.

Home improvement is freakin’ expensive. Sounds like you guys had a great night!

I saw the “LIMP-a-zonners” when I was a little girl, too, Janeen. What an amazing show!! Glad you were able to take a walk down memory lane! (Are we too old to wonder if those were the very same horses we watched as little girls??)

Sarah, could be the same 🙂 I was very surprised to hear at the show that the Lipezanners can live 35-40 years! Amazing, huh?

I went to a Lipezzaner show when I was like 8 or 10 in Kenai. I recently found out from someone that I know that went to a recent show in Anchorage that the head rider joined them like 18 years ago after that show in Kenai! So inadvertently I was a part of horse show history. So glad you got to go. I would have but Leah and Anne were out of town so I couldn’t. No sense in walking down memory lane alone.

Totally off the subject but you’ll be excited to know I fully committed to cloth diapering. I decided to do prefolds/contours/fitteds with one size covers (blueberry & wonderwraps). I am excited to see how all this transpires…well not the poo business but how well these things work anyhow.:) Thanks for all your help and info. Wouldn’t have done it otherwise. Yeah for conservationist ways!

Yay Heather! Super excited for you, you’ll be an addict in no time. I’m going to have to check out those blueberry OS covers…
