This past weekend we ventured home to Boca Raton FL to celebrate Moms birthday and check up on Dad. While They are obviously getting old, Dad looks good and get's around pretty well. Mom also looks well and get's around very very well. All seems to be well around the house. When you go home, please try to throw stuff away or take it with you. We need to reduce the inventory at the house.
Ok, onto the events of the weekend!
Barbara and I flew in on thursday afternoon. After hitting a local Dunkin' D's we were off to see mom at CVS. It was great to see her, she was very happy to see us. She introduced us to her manager who was extremely complimentary towards mom, but how can you not be seriously...
We went home and I spent a few hours with Dad having him tell me a few stories, it's going to take longer then i thought to knock that out. But i did get a few of the history of our family so i'll keep adding to that over time.
Mom wanted to make it to mass so Barbara went with her and Dad and i went cruising in the car, it was nice, he seemed to enjoy the fresh air.
Friday morning mom had to go to work again. Dad, Barbara and I went to my favorite Jewish bakery, i generally drag dad there each time i go. We had a very uneventful trip, as you know..that's always nice!
In the afternoon i picked up Betty and Diane. We grabbed Maggiano's for dinner and had a wonderful feast. So good! Mom and dad really enjoyed the treat! we used all paper utencils making it extra easy for cleanup! This was great, we had a blast. Grace and Coleen swung by, it was nice to see them even if only for a few minutes. Hopefully next time i will be able to see them longer.
Saturday we got up and Barbara and Betty went garage sale shopping. I dragged mom to Dunkin' Donuts and we picked up coffee for the house and a few donuts. Little did we know that Betty was going to appear with a dozen Krispy Kremes! mmmmm, so gooD!
Mom and Diane did some brainstorming on presents as mom still insists on outfitting presents for both Bday and Xmas for the entire family, she's very generous to attempt to do this!
While we did this betty and i played a little who wants to be a Millionaire. Betty of course won. While in the process we had a little history lesson. Here is a link to what i learned, the link is so betty can make sure she relays the right info to the rest of the family:).

Following Target was a wonderful dinner of BBQ that we picked up from Smokey Bones, it was finger likin' good! only better BBQ i have ever tasted was from OTD entertainment..hmmm They need that in FL!
After dinner we all loaded up into our cars and went to Mass together! it was really special and i was so glad we were all able to go together. Here are a few pictures we took at St. Judes in Boca...
Finally, the girls all got dressed up in the finest and went to the ballet. They looked beautiful!!! I, of course, chauffeured them. Mom looked great, and was so excited to go! They seemed to really enjoy themselves and have a good time! Dad and I hung out while the girls went out. We didn't get to do anymore recordings, but just had a nice time sitting...
