My birthday weekend.

Happy Birthday to Mommy!! My family gave me a weekend of lots of fun.




What a great weekend. Russ, Mona, Sarah and I drove to San Antonio for the weekend. We celebrated my birthday by going to the Riverwalk and having lunch on the river. Russ had Mariachi's sing for me by the table. We then went to Oma's house, and relaxed. In the evening, Harold and Karen joined us and we went to a restaurant called Lulu's Diner. It was a hole in the wall but lots of fun. They are known for their Chicken fried steak and 3 pound sweet rolls. I took pictures to make sure I could share it with everyone. After dinner, we went home and Oma had baked a cake for me. Everyone sang happy birthday and then we got to eat cake. On Sunday morning, we had the sweet roll for breakfast. It wasn't as good as we had hoped but it was pretty good. I thne got to watch the men {Russ and Harold} put Oma's chair on the curb for heavy trash pickup. I know she is sad but I think it will be better for her in the long run. Then it was back on the road and home for the future week.

Anniversary

Russ and I celebrated our 8th anniversary last night at Ouisie's Table in River Oaks. It was a lovely dinner where we sat on the porch along with 50 other people but it felt like we were the only ones there. We ate seafood crapes, Antelope medallions and crab cakes. For dessert, we shared a black and white cake that they put a candle in and wrote Happy Anniversary in chocolate. We had a wonderful time.

Playing around

Mona and Sarah were playing around this morning and they decided to set up a restaurant called Mona and Sarah's. They made a menu and wrote down the foods they were going to sell. Sarah told me to go on Sarah.com to see the menu. Now if I only could cook them. One of these is the scanned version so you can see Sarah's writing and Mona's writing. Mona would spell the item and Sarah would write.
