Big Doings Mothers Day

We had a great Mothers Day in Sacramento.

Sue and I arrived just in time to pick up Heather at the train station in Sacramento. It was so good to see her. She was dressed in Bay Area attire. Considerably warmer than she needed to be. After the coat got doffed, and the comfort arranged (she was concerned about sun exposure in the cap city, we dropped by Heather and Sean's place to pick them up. Temperature was in the mid 80's. To us it was very comfortable.

We were wondering what to do, and even drove out to our favorite thrift shop on Folsom Avenue only to find that it was being torn down. We decided to go out to Ekia in West Sacramento. We had a great hour shopping for goodies for the house and the apartments. Everyone stayed within the time budget and the monetary budget. We had reservations for the fondue place in Sacramento at 4:30. It worked out just right.

We arrived in downtown Sacramento, parked the car in the garage and were waiting at the doorstep at 4:15.

LInzi ordered two packages for our party. Just enough. We had a different selections of a cheese fondue, a great designer like salad, a main entree group and finally a chocolate fondue selection for dessert.

Not only did the girls order up and give some nice gifts to Sue, including a beautiful necklace,they paid for the dinner. This was no small deal as we had two huge lobster tails on one of the selection of entree. What a treat. I am so proud of my girls and their success in life.

We dropped Heather off on time for her train going back. We spent a little more time with Linzi and Sean. Sue took a nap and I helped Sean and Linzi set up their brand new Wii. I loaned them my new Mario Cart. Sean had played Mario car before in an eariler version and knew many of the nuances of the special bombs and tactics. I am very much a neophyte at the game and was steering all over the place. The Wii version has many cool tracks in it and with the wireless wheel, it is very sensitive. It was great to see someone who knew what they doing but the wii through its paces. It is still a great console for people that have particularly devoted their lifetime to mastering the video game.

Linzi and I are both looking forward to seeing the arrival of the Wii fit due to come out at the end of the month.

We got Sue up and headed out on the 99 for a two hour drive home. Very little traffic was on the road. We were home by 11:11.

Thanks so much to the girls and Sean for their contributions to a wonderful Mother's day celebration.

Love
