Note to self: Call first

I have no luck.

First I tried to take Ladybug to story time at the library a couple weeks ago, only to find out when we got there that the program is suspended in August. (You can read about that fun little outing in “Book ‘em.")

Then on Tuesday I planned a little afternoon adventure for us that involved Artspace, lunch and the Farmer’s Market.

“They’re probably closed,” my husband joked as we parked downtown.

Surely not, I replied. I checked their website before we left home. I verified the days and hours of operation. I was not going to get busted again.

And then what did I see? A sign hanging on Artspace’s door that it was closed to prepare for an exhibit.

My husband laughed. Ladybug cried. I wanted to bang on the door and scream “Let me in!!!!” How could this happen to me twice?

I’m about to give up on these outings. At least at home I know we’re always open.
