We were out and about this evening. We couldn’t decide on a place for dinner. We happened upon this Thai restaurant that looked appetizing…
Jasmine enjoyed cucumber salad and steamed rice. Jeff ate wonton soup and drunken noddle. Emily dined on fried tofu, spring rolls and a tofu entree.
You know how you wake up in the morning and it takes you awhile to realize that it’s not a regular day? So I wandered down the stairs and Jasmine and Jeff were already up and waching TV. And Jasmine says in a nonchalant way “Something’s in the kitchen for you.”
And then I remembered that it was Mother’s Day. She had made me breakfast. I especially liked the rosemary garnish. She learned that from when she was helping Jeff make a roast chicken. It was an interesting flavor when added to apples and oranges. She also made me a handmade card which of course are the best.
We went to our favorite Indian restaurant. But instead of the usual buffet, we ordered off the menu. We got a chance to try new dishes and Jasmine got the tandoori chicken, served fajita style. My dosa was delish and leftovers lasted about three meals.
My past work place, Columbia Springs, had their annual Kids Fishing Festival. We got there early so there was no wait this year. (Last year was an hour in line). Jasmine went right up and caught her first fish instantly. It was a nice big juicy one. I was so proud she threw it back. But the second one she kept.
The weather was great, but really really windy. I got a chance to catch up with my former co-workers, we got fresh grilled burgers for lunch. (Meat and veggie!) And Jasmine got a tee-shirt to take home. Everyone had a great time. Except the fish.
Took Destiny and Jasmine to see a movie. It was a re-release of ‘Finding Nemo’. I forgot how scary that movie is! Between the sharks and barracudas and that monster fish in the deep dark with the light (shudder) ….just lots of scary parts and of course it starts with the mom getting killed. I could hear some young ones in the theater who had not seen it before crying.
Disney’s motto should be “We start your kids in therapy, so you don’t have to”
Destiny and Jasmine both had “head in the sleeve” moments but were troopers and had candy, pizza and soda to give them strength.
After the movie they convinced Jeff and me that swimming was next, so we carried over the water theme and sat in the bleachers while the sisters had fun. Destiny is quite the swimmer and was able to pass the test to get onto the diving board. Jasmine almost passed, still needs to work on her back stroke. She’ll get there.
We ended the day back at Destiny’s house where Patty and Brian served a great meal with lot of grilled veggies and fresh pineapple for dessert.
