My daughter, Laura, and son-in-law, Scott, entertained me royally at their home this past weekend. In celebration of Mother's Day, we were joined by good friend, Erin, and her delightful mother, Clare.
After a wonderful brunch at the Icosium Kafe, a Middle Eastern restaurant that specializes in crepes, both savory and sweet, we went to an Italian bakery to purchase some delectable pastries to be enjoyed later in the day. So we would not starve, (you must be an eager eater to be a member or friend of our family) we made a stop at an imported food shop where Laura picked out baba ghanoush, roasted red pepper dip, yogurt dip, pita bread, etc. etc. I won't step on a scale for a few days!
For viewing pleasure, I was given a tour of Laura and Scott's garden, we watched a movie, (The Namesake) which we enjoyed and the Blackhawk's game, which we did not. (the Hawks lost)
And there was THE MONOPOLY GAME, which was won by Little Miss Lucky, Laura. When telling my youngest daughter, Jennifer, about the outcome of the game, she said, "Oh, Laura is so cold and you know she cheats don't you?" We laughed... my girls love to tease each other and I love that.
Well, I'm back at home now. My two cats are happy to see me and I am left with some happy memories of a weekend away.

Sounds like a lovely weekend! Yea!
ReplyDeleteMiss Lucky? LUCKY!?
ReplyDeleteHighly skilled and cunning maybe.
You will be happy to know, Scotty trounced Erin and I royally yesterday. You have been vindicated.
I know my part of the weekend was lovely! It was fun to see you and to get you and my mom together, especially at Icosium (i mean if you`re going to get cool people together the least you can do is include fabulous food). And to back Ms Lucky, SKilled and Cunning´s assertion, you were more than vindicated in our game a week later. The man triple trounced me. I tried to persuade him that socialism js the way, and just to share a little more wealth with the UNlucky... but alas I was doomed. He took the day big time.
