A Visit from Mama

My mom is visiting the US right now. After two weeks in San Diego, Ca with my sister's family, she finally came here on Friday. I had to beg off from our basketball team practice to pick her up from the Fort Lauderdale airport. We haven't seen each other for 2.5 years since we had that family reunion in California. David and Missy were excited to see their Lola again and was busily waiting for that Friday. 

After the church service on Sunday, we treated her to a brunch at 'The Ark', our favorite place to 'pig-out' (pardon the word). They really have a great selection of food and even the kids have their own favorites. We're teaching them slowly to choose well when we eat there 'para masulit' as in 'para hindi malugi'  instead of eating just regular McDonalds or Burger King type of food. At least they're learning and David is now patiently anticipating the prime rib steak they do serve there and it's there specialty.

This weekend, we'll be going to Key West for some R&R. We haven't been there for quite a long time  and hopefully the weather will cooperate with us. There's still that occasional rain although it's getting cooler now. That's a welcome respite from the hot Florida summer.

Photos-

Taking turns with Ophine's p&s. Our group photo done by the server is just bad so it's not here. I think it's high time for the hospitality industry to include 'how to take pictures' in their training. Everybody knows that the server is the first person customers ask to take their group picture. Just sounding off...
