Seasons 52 Reservations

 Good morning,

We were delighted when our eldest son, Les, was in town and invited us to dinner at Seasons 52. 

 The restaurant is very close to our home, but we had never been there.

 The company was fantastic.  Thank you, Les!

The Cedar Plank Salmon was delicious!  The service was tops!

Les was very careful to request a table with chairs with arms for me when he made the reservation in advance.  I'm a little (ha!) older now and appreciate the arms on chairs more than I ever knew I would.  The restaurant took his reservation request without telling him that there are no arms on any of their chairs.  Guest comfort is so important to make the dining experience a positive one.  Yes, I enjoyed my meal and especially the company, but restaurants should be honest about confirming reservations with such requests.

Thanks, again, Les.  It was wonderful to see you!

Love you,

Mom

Naked Blonds Sun Bathing

 Good morning,

That title will surely bring in some lookers.  ;)  

Our girls love to soak up Vitamin D on sunny days.  Above is Elsa. 

 And, this is Wendy.  They are certainly well fed.

The pups have a hard life around here, don't they....

They are precious!

I love flowers.

Bread Day

 Good morning,

The house smells wonderful today.  

These two loaves are just out of the oven.  They're made with brown sugar and sour cream.  

Oh, so good!

Sorry I can't sent you some through the Internet....

Independence of the Seas Junior Suite

Good morning,

Our friend Erica sent us this image of the Junior Suite she and Catherine shared on board Independence of the Seas.  They enjoyed back to back cruises but had to change suites between the first and the second cruise.

This looks quite comfy to me!

Ah, yes, cruising....

Enjoy,

Lois
