Belated Happy Mother’s Day
Hope everyone had a Happy Mother’s Day yesterday. We had a nice one, and as usual it was a simple family gathering. We met at Grandville in Burbank. I had my usual natural Chipotle chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, so won’t show another picture of that, since I’m sure I’ve already posted one on here in a previous post. But here’s mom. I had to take this pic because she looked so happy AND my sister got “crafty” and “made” her own bow piece by piece. . . She’s not one to do crafty things, so this was very unusual. . . has the temp in hell gone down a notch?
Well, shucks, it’s a bit hard to see the ribbon my sister made, but rest assured it was quite complicated from the looks of it. It was certainly a successful attempt at her handy work. Kudos, Doll!
My sweet girlfriend even joined in with the gift giving and gave both my mom and dad gift certs to the Red Lobster.
Then there was the food. . . El brother-in-law with his soup and sandwich. . .
My Auntie’s Land and Sea dish. . . Hmmm strange configuration. . .
My Uncle’s salmon dish. . .
There were a couple orders of the Taco Trio at the table. . .
My boys had the five cheese and artisan artichoke pizzas, which I think I’ve already posted pics of those in a previous post, so will skip it here. I don’t know what Mom and Dad ate as they were already digging in as was I, so didn’t bother taking more pics, heheh.
Overall, it was a nice day. I know Mother’s Day tends to be commercialized, but hey, I enjoy any chance to celebrate with family. Now I can’t wait until Father’s Day! Heheheh.
