So.. I had an awesome time at my mom's this weekend. Thursday night we went to Garcia's. This is the restaurant that started out as a little neighborhood place and grew into a chain. The original family still owns the 35th ave location and this is where we eat when we go.
(Garcia's was Paul's introduction to mexican food. It didn't go well.. but he was a good sport about the whole thing. He asked me to recommend something that wasn't "too hot"... I suggested the tostada (my personal favorite and one that I thought wasn't too hot). Discovered that night that there were chili peppers laced through out the whole thing... you really couldn't get away from them. I swear I wasn't trying to kill him... I guess I was just used to it by then.)
Friday morning Susan, Mom and I went to the casinos to try our luck. We (Susan and I) were hoping some of that luck my mother has would rub off on us. We did alright. I think Susan might have won a bit more than me. I didn't lose too much.. it was one of those days where you win a few dollars, lose a few dollars.. back and forth until finally you say "enough". I did not come home broke.
Saturday the four of us met up at a portrait studio for family pictures. We haven't done a family picture since the year before my dad died. After the picture, we went back to my brother's house and had a BBQ. It was a good time. My brother has adopted a dog while I've been gone. A big Great Dane by the name of Butler. Handsome dog, and well behaved. Maybe this is the type of dog I should get Mac.
Sunday we had a quiche that Susan concocted. Then we girls went out to the casinos again for a few hours. Art met us back at the house for dinner. It was a good time. Lots of reminiscing, lots of laughter.
Monday I spent all day in various airports, making my way back to Maryland.
