My Mental Sanctuary

Today I saw beautiful works of at and listened to a lovely little concert...thanks to Mother Nature.

Yesterday we Walked around Downtown Suffolk, and we walked around a cemetery that is supposed to be haunted and saw stone angel statue. It was praying, not weeping.

Also saw Riddick's Folly, a famous house that when first built the people laughed at him. It was also the only house that didn't get burned down when the Union burnt the city back during the civil war.

Kaitlin cut her finger, dripped a lot of blood and got some on her shirt. She didn't cry when she did it. It was similar to a deep papercut. Her Meemaw put on a butterfly bandage and a regular bandaid and she is fine.

Half an hour later she stumbled down the stairs and she cried. I held her in my arms and calmed her down. Five minutes after that she was her usual giggly self.

Oh and I saw some wild turkeys yesterday.

I can take a nap on even the so called claimed most uncomfortable couch there is.

The Japanese restaurant we had dinner was awesome. They brought out a small bowl of tofu cubes for Kaitlin. She didn't eat much but their suggestion was a good one.
The sushi was wonderful. We ordered a small tempura plate from the appetizer section for Katilin. She enjoyed the sweet potatoes, nommed on an onion ring and tried shrimp for the first time and she loved it. My baby loves shrimp. Gee I wonder where she got that from. They also suggested and brought out a small bowl of vanilla ice cream for Kaitlin at the end.

Autumn, Jonathon and I went to Movie Tavern that night. On Saturday evenings around Midnight they have something called Retro theater where they show an 80's movie. That night was Labyrinth. I was able to drink a hard lemonade and watch David Bowie be pure awesome.

I felt bad for Autumn though. Several of her friends came and it seemed like Autumn, Jonathon and I were the only ones who were not wasted. She was like "God damn these people weren't this stupid in highschool." After the movie she said. "I don't mind people quoting the movie or singing along to it but I don't care who went down on who in the bathroom."

Sunday started with bagels. Then we watched Tron Legacy. We went to a book store, then to a great burger place with big bugers and I ordered one that had guacamole on it and then we came back and watched Tangled.

Monday we came back home but we stopped off at a great Donut place that gave us a small bag full of glazed donut holes for free. Those I gave to Kaitlin.

-I think I have had enough seafood to last for a while. Had dinner at a Spanish Restaurant on Thursday. I had the concoction of clams, mussles, shrimp and cod, oh so good. On Friday I had some crab legs, and on Saturday shrimp.

-We shall never ever ever have a gathering at that hotel, 106 bucks per person per night, and according to their contract you have to call 48 hours in advance to cancel. They did have several pools, plus a bakery, and the Internet was free.

-Revel's mother is like Greg Weisman, she does not need to use a microphone.

-Revel has a lot of fun relatives. His uncle Joe is quite the character, so is Josh, not a relative yet, but he is engaged to Revel's cousin Kate, who was not only born in the same year as me, but also loves shrimp and enjoys good coffee.

-More on Josh, cool guy, was born in Ireland but you can't really tell since there is no accent, he moved to the States when he was just a tot, although he joked that good way to tell that he is drunk is he is starting to sound Irish. He is also a part time comedian.

-I now know why Jack Sparrow walks the way he does and it isn't just the rum, after the Circle Line boat came in to dock it started to rock and we were walking like Jack when we came aboard.

-If you do go on the river tour, wear sunscreen.

-Greg, I am glad you came with us.
