Have to hurry and post so I can go up and shower and dress as today is commissary day. I always so enjoy that and we have to go to either Target or Walmart or both for things the commissary doesn't have and a bday card for my son. His bday is the 22nd but my daughter is going up there right before his bday so I am sending his stuff and my grandson's Halloween with her.
We had a lovely lunch yesterday with Thomas. We talked about Scouts, getting his driving permit, college all sorts of things. It was very nice. Jack got an Apple gift card from the kids for his bday and he wore the watch I bought him for his birthday. We came home and watched the Cubs game and they won last night so it is one and one.
Jean: Jack had some kind of pot that had crab legs, scallops, shrimp, corn on the cob and red potatoes. Thomas has lobster linguini Alfredo and a baked potato loaded. He is such a skinny thing he can get away with tons of carbs and calories.
I had a salad, shrimp with steamed green beans. I weakened and had a piece of carrot cake that I only ate part of. They were out of a bunch of their desserts so the guys didn't get anything. I am going to gripe to the manager but it won't do any good. I imagine the longer flight is why you got cheaper tickets. The faster you go the more expensive they are it seems.Everyone have a good day!
It sounds like you all enjoyed different choices for lunch. I'm not much of a fan of seafood so Thomas's baked potato sounds good to me. 
Carrot cake is one I've never made so that would be my choice. The grocery store bakery sometimes has them but I sure don't need a two layer cake calling my name.
