The Thursday Threesome
Hey, how about a:::Night on the Town!::
Onesome: Night: -- Nights can be difficult if you need something from somewhere: what time do the stores shut down where you are? I mean, if you needed something more than a loaf of bread, is there any hope late at night? LOL My town is definitely Mayberry RFD. Everything closes down around 9:00 p.m. However, if I drive 15 minutes to the next down, I can find a 24 hour SavOn drugstore. I like my little town just the way it is, though.
Twosome: on the-- River? Hey, are there any rivers near you? ...or are you located out in the wilderness somewhere? Rivers....hmmm, well, we have the San Gabriel River which fills to near capacity during heavy rainstorms. It looks more like an acqueduct, though, because it's man made and specifically for water control/run off. There's nothing scenic about it.
Threesome: Town!-- If you could have any "Night on the Town" you wanted, what would you like to do? ...and would you like some company or would you go it alone? I would go to Vegas and San Francisco and take in some performances/shows, gamble or go clubbing, and watch the sunrise! Of course, I would want my spouse to accompany me.

Random Questions; Random Days
Even though the first week of March is just about over, I felt compelled to share this info. It's Chocolate Week! What is your favorite type of chocolate? Is this a trick question....all chocolate's good. I don't have a favorite...well, I guess, I prefer milk chocolate versus dark but, I eat them both the same and with equal fervor!

H A P P Y B I R T D A Y , M O M ! !
Today is my mom's 78th birthday and I'm so thankful and happy to have her in my life. I hope my mom is with me for many more years and I cherish the time we spend together. Since today's her actual birthday and the family won't celebrate until Saturday, I thought it would be great to at least take her dinner. I had to work, but I didn't work overtime today.
We went to Chevys in Burbank. I'd never been there, but my mom really likes the food there and so my spouse met us at the restaurant after work. Due to traffic, my spouse arrived first and ended up waiting 30 minutes - sorry!! Boy, do they serve large portions. I ordered fajitas and felt full just looking at the plate. I thought about snapping a shot of the plate - it was well planned and decorated, it made the dish more appetizing and appealing.
Of course, I chickened out. Does this ever happen to you? I became self conscious about the other diners thinking me a fool or nut for photographing my plate! Then, I thought my mom might wonder "what's wrong with her?", so instead I just began eating. After the meal, the server brought my mom a large sombrero and placed it on her head as we sang Happy Birthday!
My mom really liked that part. She was smiling and looking around and it was great way to acknowledge one's birthday. Most restaurants arrive with the obligatory slice of cake or bowl of ice cream and sing. Somehow, the large sombrero made it more festive and fun. I know my spouse was tired, as was I, but we both agreed that it was worth it.
Even the most ordinary moments can be extraordinary!
