Sarah had gotten home from spring break in Georgia, the weather was nice,
everyone was in a good mood, so Suzanne went on a shopping and cooking
spree. She made this salad
one dish pasta primavera (one dish to serve it in, not to
cook it in)
got this chicken
and sushi
and we were ready to have a feast.
Kaylen came and she and Jane posed but first Jane
sucked on her straw
then Kaylen looked down
but finally
we got the perfect picture.
Joyce
was back from Middlebury and she and Sarah
ate the bread as they finalized the plans for the evening.
Ben
brought his basketball to the meal. Suzanne
got everything
on to the table so that I could make my food face
and observe the scene
at the other end of the table while we had an
intense discussion classifying families as being
either Suck it up or not Suck it up families.
On Sunday, we drove to Philadelphia to the Wyndham
to drop Suzanne
off for her conference while the rest of us drove to Bainbridge Street
to park and then walk to the PhilaDeli Restaurant
which a great sign
but first we paid homage to Isaiah Zagar's work
on the wall. His work is all over the neighborhood.
Once inside, this was the only sign
I saw in the bathroom. Dr Len met us there
and Ben took notice
as Judy
and Jane
posed and then Jane took this picture
of mine while the toast
came and then Ben's turkey burger
Jane's burger platter
and my salad
which looked better without flash
as did the Russian dressing
in the no flash
version. The waitress wouldn't let us take a picture of her
face but she did let us take this picture of the back of her shirt
Basketball done, we headed down the street recording the pierced
tongues
puppets
the cigar
and Moe Fine
before going to Hats in the Belfry
where this woman
sold Ben a hat. But before we could try the hat, Dr Len appeared with a
water ice
from Rita's
so we checked out the menu
and Benjamin waited
while they
prepared his chocolate
and Jane's tropical punch
water ices.
Then it was time to look at the hat
so Dr Len tried it on
and I did
while Jane and Benjamin
finished their water ices and we continued on past the store
with the Sponge Bob T shirts
and bought Jane these bracelets
and left to get Suzanne but not before we took a picture of Len and Judy
and this gentleman
took a picture of all of us
to record the end of a nice weekend.
