It was Mother’s Day so I got roses for all the mothers in my immediate family. That’s five bouquets right there, one for my mom, both my grandmothers and both of my sisters in law.
It was a nice sunny day that wasn’t too hot so we spent a good part of the day outside. Did a little BBQ and had a nice meal with good conversation.
I did have a fun encounter on my way there from the store though, as there was a guy on the corner by in n out playing a violin 🎻 I’ve never seen that in this city so it was kind of funny since everyone is just driving by in cars and he had a bucket at his feet for people to drop tips. That might work in a city where people walk but nobody really walks the streets here.
The pie I made the night before turned out okay, but it wasn’t my favorite. The recipe I used for the crust didn’t taste the best so I won’t be using it again, lol. It’s the thought that counts, right?
Overall it was a really good day and I had a really good time with my family and didn’t end up feeling like garbage half way through the day because it wasn’t a sugar and carb fest like it usually tends to be. Since I was in charge of drinks I got nothing but diet sodas so that was refreshing and less dangerous for me.
I know I can just abstain from bad food and drinks, but when I’m around my family it’s hard and I usually just cave and eat the food I really shouldn’t. But again, this time wasn’t like that and I felt fantastic all day, almost like a normal person!
Until next time...
