And a good time was had by all.

On Saturday, I went to my son's house and had a grand time. It's always great to hug him as well as get hugs from my grandpup, the 'Hank'ster[the very lovable ADHD dog!]. And one of the best parts was that I finally got to meet his girlfriend-a wonderful person...my son is a lucky guy!! Both of us elementary kid teachers, it was easy to get to know her.

First we grabbed a bite to eat at a local place where my eggplant was the best that I have ever had at a restaurant. And the three of us shared two desserts that were indescribably fantastic!


Off to the theater where Jer had gotten tickets to 'the musical RENT' as a Christmas gift. A good show. I didn't realize [beforehand] that the entire show was sung and so you really had to pay attention. My last show was 'WICKED' and it will be tough to find a show as fantastic as that! It's almost like comparing apples to oranges- in respect to musical theater.
And then I had to hit the road to get back home to Mom. It was two and a half hours of snow, wind, and dark Thruway driving always on the lookout for a possible deer 'encounter' . Parking the car in the garage was followed by the customary,'WHEW'. and a deep sigh of relief.

Yesterday, I was pooped. It was a good thing that I didn't have anything that I had to do, and I could spend a lazy Sunday resting. Except for the fact that I logged many hours trying to get my computer to recognize my IPOD. One day everything was working fine, and the next day...nothing! Oh well. My day trip took a lot of energy out of me, but so-o-o worth it. And I was majorly in need of some 'fun'.
