First Week of February Notes

Discovered today that someone actually reads this site occasionally, so I guess I need to do a better job of updating.

Things are settling down. My son is here for an extended visit and we are all enjoying that. He and my husband along with my brother-in-law spent a few days in Las Vegas at the end of January for a convention. My son did not attend the convention. He just enjoyed their amazing suite, the empty pool deck and the shows. They also happened upon one of my best friends who was there with her family coincidentally, so they spent an afternoon together. All-in-all, it was a fun trip for them.

Now my son is on a campaign for the four of us to go back next month. We'll see if he pulls it off, but the major purpose is so we can all see the amazing performance of "Phantom of the Opera" playing at the Venetian. He says it's by far the best he's ever seen. And he loves that show, so he's seen every performance he could. I don't care about going to Vegas per se, but I do want to see the show.

It is so nice to have my daughter up and running with her spa because I am reaping the benefits. Have to say, what she does is nothing short of astounding. My face looks SO much better after her treatments.

We went to dinner last night. The restaurant is "Catfish Plantation" in Waxahachie and is supposed to be haunted. We've never seen any evidence of that, but the food is really good. Consistently. Only open four days a week, but worth the stop. It's a little tough to find, but you'll be glad you persevered. If you go, save room for the bread pudding. The only place that has it better is Dinger's - a now-closed catfish restaurant in Dallas. On our way home, my son asked us trivia questions to see who knew the answers. It was hilarious. It's funny how our minds work. The little bits of nothing that we retain while we lose big chunks of important knowledge as soon as the test is over. Ha!

Have a good weekend. I'll try to be back soon.
