Ramblings

 We saw The Devil Wears Prada 2 Saturday night.  Not as good as the original, but a fun movie.  Coming attractions included several movies we want to see, including Toy Story 5, the new Spiderman movie, and Practical Magic 2.

My daughters are on vacation together with their respective significant others, I didn’t see them for Mother’s Day.  But we went out to dinner before they left, and they sent me a Mother’s Day cake from my favorite gluten free bakery.  Strawberry shortcake, lots of whipped cream.  I sat down to eat a slice when I felt a paw on my hand … yes, Shadow does like whipped cream, how did you know?

And yes, I know cats aren’t supposed to eat dairy (cats are lactose intolerant), but I give her only a very small amount, just a taste.  

And Drew took me out to brunch, to a very nice place called Post Office Cafe.  Nice buffet.  I had eggs, bacon, potatoes, fruit …

Afterwards I hook a walk in our neighborhood.  I’m finding myself craving physical activity.  Not a bad thing.

One thing I always liked about Levittown — how the houses, built assembly-line fashion, have become unique as people built up and out.  And how the McMansions are so sterile-looking.  So when I walked down a few streets I haven’t seen in awhile I was sad to note how many more houses are being torn down …

The graduation signs are starting to pop up.  Today I saw one congratulating a high school student, and a second sign announcing which college the student plans to attend.

Our Memorial Day barbecue is just two weeks away,
