Good morning to you girls. Had a great time with the kids, but I think we learned our lesson about not getting a reservation. They stuck us back by the kitchen. I mean, the swinging doors to the kitchen were only about 15 feet way and part of the prep area was right behind us. On top of that, the food buffet and the restrooms were in another part of the restaurant. The only good thing, we were back there pretty much alone so we didn't have a bunch of kids running around or noise or whatever. I think the area we were in the doors were just for that part of the building for those servers as not everyone came trooping through. The food as usual was top notch. I had two chocolate covered strawberries the size of a tennis ball I swear and they were sweet and juicy. I also splurged and had a tiny creme brulee and some bananas foster that made me sick as a dog. All that sugar played havoc with my intestines. They had this fabulous chicken and this great italian pasta salad that was yummy too. I can't even remember everything. I wanted to try the etoufee, but forgot it when I went back in. The kids gave me a $50 Amazon gift card so I could get books for my Kindle for the cruise. I was able to get 6 books, a leather case and a beautiful skin to go on the kindle along with a protector that goes over the front to keep from scratching the screen. I posted a picture of the case bundle I bought. I love purple and thought this was pretty cool. They had a whole bunch of them and they were very inexpensive.
You know, these socks are going to put me off knitting them if they keep it up. I tried Alicia's twice, then had to buy new yarn, had trouble over and over with the green one's for Jack, finally got it finished and it was way too big, so I ripped the whole sock out and started over. Had the thing up to the foot done and found my stitch count was off and had to rip it back to the heel so that is where I am at right now, redoing the heel. I must be distracted a lot of something. I have never had to much trouble just knitting a darn sock. They loved the mittens. I took them to them yesterday. My sil said they will work just fine.
I am doing a load of laundry and the sheets today and my regular chores. Tomorrow early it is upstairs and clean the upstairs. Have to do it early as it is supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow, ugh! Guess summer is here for us already.
Maggie: I think I could eat Chinese all the time. I had never had a bite of chinese food until sometime after Jack and I were married. I got hooked on the stuff. I am particularly a rice noodle or noodle bowl gal. I do like some of the spicy dishes too. Funny, but hot spicy stuff doesn't bother my stomach and intestines a bit, but sugar if I eat too much or on an empty stomach particularly will cramp me up and make me sick fast. I hope they have the sandals in town. I am going to go look on Thursday as I have a dr appt that day anyway. They are inexpensive sandals and basically just for the cruise so I don't care if they last very long. I just want flat shoes to wear to dinner that stay on my feet, etc. Hope your glass work turns out well. I turn my little dog house on every night for a nightlight. Thank you again, I really love it.
Everyone have a grand start to your week! Faye
