Have the announced when Homecoming is this fall?
Congrats to Niece Elizabeth and the DinK clan!
I retrieved the young Turks, Felix and Oscar, from the dorms on Friday. Oakland was the wrong kind of zoo and we got the heck out of there. They survived their first year with very good grades, no encounters with law enforcement (that me and Mrs. Turk know about), and only one trip to the emergency room.
Back in the day when I was broke and starving, I was extremely grateful when parents took us out to eat (is Darryl's still around?), and I always imagined someday taking the kids and their crew out someplace similar that they liked and melting the credit card to pay it forward. But in this day and age, they have so many food options on the swipe card that are practically 24/7 that they just roll their eyes and say, "It's not worth the hassle. Can we just go get Chipotle or Primanti's instead?" So we make do with a couple boxes of Mrs. Turk's chocolate chip cookies.
Happy 85th birthday, Willie Nelson
I remember my graduation like it was 25 years ago.
I hope the ER trip was relatively minor. No chipotle. Lunched at Hello Bistro, dinner at Eleven diwntown, brunch at Thr Porch, and final dinner at Penn Brewery. Penn Brewery even let us bring in the celebratory magnum of champagne. Except for lunch, meals included Boyfriend Max and his family. Final dinner included Roommate Jenny. We even had reserved seating at graduation. A great weekend all around.
Darryl's went mostly out of business. There is still one in Greensboro and that is it.
The sounds of spring in Kansas - tornado sirens. I really need to keep a few wine glasses and a corkscrew in the basement.
This week has been a bear, but there is light.
Root rot. Grr.
I'll pas on both the root rot and the raw sewage...
