in my head.......

it's 11:22 am.  a tired slow moving morning.  dinner with the kids was nice......everybody got their favorites.  Derian got a layered bowl of Asian food from Coppuka.......a food place/idea I'd never heard of.  It had brown rice on the bottom, a variety of veggies/salad items, cheese, ginger, freshly sauteed beef......a sauce that seemed to complement everything.  He was happy with it......he had been craving pretzels, so he got a bag of mini pretzel bites and shared them with all of us.  Sara got an asian chicken & rice dish from Asian Chao......Sam went to his usual spot, no clue what it's called......he got sushi and a fancy blended drink.......I went to Farmer's Basket as always, they have this shiny chicken dish......the golden exterior is glossy, has a subtle honey flavor, it's so gooooooood!  I always get mashed potatoes and giant carrots.  Seriously crazy giant carrots, always wonder if they come from the land of the giants.......

after dinner the kids went to Petland to see the puppies, i remained at the table and read Guideposts.  walking is painful so i try to conserve anyway that i can.  they came back and reported that the place smelled like poop.  ughhhhhhh, that can't be good, while i imagine that it's harder to contain that smell it shouldn't be so overwhelming that they only spent a few minutes looking at the cute puppies.......then we went to Creamistry.......in order to place an order you have to be educated on all the choices.  Dairy, non dairy, and much much more........they create each dessert right in front of you and it's cool to watch.  Four desserts cost just a nickel shy of $35.00.  Alot?  Yes, but it was RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS.  I got banana added to my vanilla ice cream and it was the BEST banana ice cream I've ever had........sooooooooooo soooooooooooo good.  Made me sorry I'd eaten all my dinner so it was all I could do to get the smallest size they offered.......next time I'll get dessert first.

Sara got nutella with reeses peanut butter cups inside, Derian got a coffee flavored ice cream with a tall tower of whipped cream and caramel drizzled down the sides........Sam got cookie butter ice cream.......I still loved mine more than theirs by a country mile......Sara's was my second favorite. 

They shared their homework with me, I asked that they take pics of the wedding. Next time I'll be more specific......lol.  Seriously, they took pics of their plates of food.....but not the groom with the bride.  Those kids.......they took pics of the chandeliers but not the rooms........a very random collection of photos, they did show me a few shots of Sam in his suit looking very handsome and of Sara and hubby looking happy and gorgeous together......there was dancing but they did not dance.......what?  Life is too short to not dance.......

Next up?  Sam is leaving for Hawaii next week end.......the main island for 9 days, then he may or may not be heading on to Vienna.  Not sure why this is so up in the air, but it seems to be......some kind of piano tour and event there......if he does go to Vienna he'll also visit Prague while overseas.  .......Sara and Derian are heading to the east coast closer to the end of the month.  They plan to visit caverns in West Virginia and the night sky in Pennsylvania......they said that there is a place in Pennsylvania that is said to have the starriest sky in all the country and they want to see for themselves.  They plan to be gone for 11 days returning in time for his parents annual 4th of July party. 

I hope to be able to get the mri's done.   And if things go at all well to take Helen and Mardy to the Owls luncheon next Wednesday.  It's all very iffy.......but that's my hope.  To maintain, to function and be in care of little silly hopeful me.

I am stiff and sore, aching to who laid it......but I am up, dressed......and ready to be still and quiet in my chair while watching Homeland and You tube random bits and bobs.

Take care and see you at the movies!!!!!!!
