Okay, okay, I know that I sounded down in my Nov. 10th post. The decorations are all up and I still can't seem to get my motor in gear. Mom and spent last Saturday shopping in Boston (Quincy Market area). We asked the bus driver for a good place to eat, and he suggested "Dick's Last Resort." Apparently, they abuse the customers, and give special attention to those to dish it right back to them. Mom and I looked at each other--that's like two bulls with red flags flying! We went, and after a while the waitress wasn't playing ball with us. After a few zingers on my part, she gave it right back to me. One of the things they do to the customers is make them wear paper hats with smart comments handwritten on them. My mom's says "former playmate" and mine said "one step from the old folks home". After spilling some sauce on her sweater, the waitress came back with a large bib stating "I have crabs". Mom got a big kick out of it. We found out later that even though several of our fellow bus mates also ate lunch there, we were the only ones with hats. I guess it pays to be nasty, lol!
I will try to post a few pictures of Mom's holiday decorations. Usually, the tree is done completely in mauve victorian decorations, but since wild Will is in the house, we decided to get out those saved holiday cards and use them. Please note the doll--this is my mother's first grandchild, Laura Jean. I made her, along with her holiday garb for my mother so that she would finally have a baby to love. Of course, now we have three to spoil. Only a few more weeks until they all get together!
