First Father's Day Weekend

We had a wonderful Father's Day weekend here at the Romasco house. My dad came from Florida for a business trip and we had a great visit (a foodfest weekend).

Friday night Dad took us out to Red Lobster for an early birthday celebration for me. I had my favorite dish there - (the shrimp & lobster Caesar salad). We hadn't been there since I was pregnant, so I really enjoyed it.

Saturday we went to yes, India Palace for lunch. Believe me, you cannot come visit us without being dragged to India Palace. Actually, everyone who's had a meal there has enjoyed it. Even some Indian food phobics have been converted to "we should go back to that Indian place...."

Saturday night we went to Roy's Place for dinner. It's a local sandwich joint with about 300 sandwiches on the menu. We were joined by my Uncle Lee & Aunt Dottie. Great food and great conversation.

Sunday we got up bright & early to bring Dad to the airport :(

Afterwards, we headed to Home Depot to buy some light fixtures for the basement. It wasn't open when we arrived, so we waited in the car until it opened. We selected the fixtures we wanted, but they only had 1 in stock. They said that the Germantown store had 24 in stock, so we went out to breakfast at IHOP and then up to the Germantown Home Depot. We got what we needed and Matt installed them right away. The basement is really shaping up nicely, but our carpet installation was postponed from last Friday to the 22nd. I can't wait for Joe to have room to crawl again! We brought him to church on Sunday night and he was just a whirling dervish. He would not hold still no matter what we tried, and he was making lots of noise too. Of course he'd had an awfully busy few days. Today he's back to his usual sweet self. Thank goodness...we're exhausted!
I hope all fathers had a wonderful day.

It was so great to see you guys. Joseph is soooo sweet. Thanks for the hospitality and the extreeemely early ride to the airport.

The basement is really looking great and it will be nice to have big place where JD can roam around.

We are back from the DiSanto beach week, which was relaxing. I read a couple of good books - "A Painted House" by John Grisham, and "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" by David Sedaris.

We had an easy 3-day drive back to Orlando, ready to attack a load of Tivo'd programs, and a mailbox full of Netflix. Life is good.
