Horse-drawn carriage

I am one of the luckiest ladies in Milford. On Friday, Will and I had a dinner date with our fabulous friend Pattie. She wanted to take us out on the town to celebrate the pregnancy so we chose a date and arranged for her to pick us up. This is what she showed up in.




To the delight of our neighbors, Big Duke galloped up our driveway at 6:45 p.m., transporting Pattie and a beautiful bouquet of flowers.









After a 505 photoshoot, Russel (driver) and Chewie (co-pilot) took us on a leisurely, historical tour of Milford. It was especially notable, since it was the day of the Milford baseball parade (we pulled onto Main Street at the tail end and still had a bit of an audience) and the day of the Royal Wedding.






Dinner at downtown Italian eatery, Coratti's, and then honorary aunt Pattie arranged for Russel to drive us home. Clopping up our gravel drive at 10 p.m. was quite the experience.

It was an amazing evening.
What great friends I have . . .
