Happy Mother's Day Weekend!!!

You can tell it's a busy weekend when there are no blog entries till Sunday night! I won't rehash the entire 48 hours, but the highlights were trying a new Indian place (new to me, anyway), playing GOBS of Rockband (I still stink, but I stink less than I once did), and Grace's baseball team winning yet again (they're 8-0).

And, of course, today was Mother's Day! Technically the kids are with their Dad this weekend, but we arranged that I would take them from after Sunday School till the evening. We drove out to Burlington where my Dad is, and had a lovely brunch there with Dad and Kathy (prime rib and chicken Cordon Bleu, plus random veggies and desserts!), and visited with Dad for a bit.

After that, we scooted back to Chapel Hill because I had made plans to go to a Durham Bulls game. Grace did not want to go; Peter did, so we dropped G off at her Dad's, then Peter, my friend David and I scooted off to Durham...

...to sit in a restaurant for an hour while the TORRENTIAL rain passed! Luckily it was a restaurant with Mt. Dew on the menu (for Peter), a good appetizer list, and a great beer list.

Eventually the rain passed and the game started; we did the standard Bulls things (funnel cake, lemonade, more beer, hot dogs, laughing at the Sumo wrestlers, 7th inning stretch. Sadly, though, the Bulls lost 3-2 (due at least in part to a HIGHLY disputable call in the 6th that changed a home run into a ground rule double...).

But, it was still a fun day. Brunch, Beer and Baseball -- that just MAY be my perfect Mother's Day!
