Back to School

Meg perked up toward the end of the week so we were able to get out and enjoy the latter portion of her vacation, finishing up a visit to a local Farmer's Market and dinner with friends.  A few days before that, though, I ducked out and drove to Orlando to visit with Jay.  

It was a quick trip up and back but I've been missing him and wanted to see firsthand how he was doing.  He's been extremely busy with classes and clinicals so I was very happy that we finally found the opportunity for a get-together, even if it was only a few short hours.  We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant followed by a little leprechaun shopping for his sister.  It was really, really nice and he's doing very well.

While driving back to his place he pointed out a new store that had gone in just down the street.  He had no idea what it was, other than huge.  A quick google determined that it was a craft/decor store so we took a look-see.  (I can't remember the name of it right now...something Garden.)  I'd liken it to a home "decor" Big Lots.  We didn't buy anything but did find quite a few interesting items.  If either of us had an extra $100 to blow, this guy would have gone home with Jay.

He called him "his new drinking buddy."   In another aisle across the store we found these, the perfect accompaniment....

Needless to say the store was filled with a lot of stuff that "made you go hmm..." but we had fun looking around.  I'm not sure whether I found it funny, irritating or both, but in the few short hours that I was gone she called and/or texted  no less than 6 times to "tell on" Daddy.  "Daddy says I have to eat cereal for dinner.....Daddy's says he's working but he's really playing his computer game.....Daddy won't play with me......when will you be home, mommy?" ......  *sigh*

Back to today.  It's Monday so that means menu time.  Randy has requested more salads so he should be happy this week.
