well, we promised that we would do our best to update everyday.. in fact, for a while I was trying so hard to do a morning and an evening update.. and sometimes a noon one too! I guess yesterday just slipped right by us.. sorry about that to all of you who wait for the posts.. i know how that feels, when I'm home and mom's in buffalo and i'm waiting patiently (probably not really) for news. so today, you're getting at least 2 updates!
we spent yesterday relaxing again, sherry and wayne brought over donuts that we sampled all day.. I love when I see a box of assorted donuts because the delicious flavors and curiosity of the fillings make me soda excited and I spend all day thinking... do i like cake donuts, especially blueberry? what does a strawberry yeast donut taste like? does that one have custard in it, or just whipped cream on top? hmmm... maybe I'll just have an inch of each. but on the other hand, if it were a box of plain glazed donuts, i'd have a half of one and be fine the rest of the day! Hope that happens to everyone...
Then there was the chicken soup.. delicious chicken soup made with love by amy.. we asked mom how she likes it (lots of onion, little garlic, white meat chicken...) and boy did she like it!! she had 2 bowls! and let's not forget the shrimp and crab stuffed sole from gerry (alee's).. she loved that and is so happy that she has enough for like 4 days!! I know it sounds like all we do is eat.. but really we're visiting a lot in between the eating! oh, and resting too..
Jasmine came for a visit.. she was such a helpful little nugget all day asking meema if she wanted drinks or dinner or ice cream... and making arts and crafts.. she comes up with the craziest things! mom was so happy to see her and mary.
we had a great day and are all looking forward to another one today!
happy labor day!
will write later... love.
