Night Out at Hamburger Mary's

Getting together with old friends is always fun.

Especially when that night out includes bingo at Hamburger Mary's. Seems like every time I go to Hamburger Mary's, Melinda Ryder is always the star. I didn't win, but the food, fun and good friend from high school, Val Matula, was worth the late night.

Shrimp Boil

Michele came to visit and instead of just sitting around and talking, we decided to visit the Farmer's Market. I was surprised there were so many things besides produce. Besides buying fresh corn, potatoes and bread I also bought a dress. Who would have thought you could buy a dress at the Farmer's Market.

Michele left before I could make a fabulous shrimp boil. I went a little overboard for one person, but the results were fantastic. Shrimp boil for 1 for a month!

Lincoln's Busted Chin

What bigger nightmare to go through than having to take your child to the emergency room to have stitches.

It didn't surprise me when Melissa called saying she was taking Lincoln to get stitches because he split his chin open. It happened to Teresa a couple of times when she was small and Michael had stitches over his eye and in the back of his head. We seem to be a wild bunch.

But a few stitches won't keep this boy down. Michele visited later in the day and he was back to his rambunctious ways. Michele was a little more comfortable playing with Violet. Although the game of dominoes soon turned into something a little less calm.
