Tonight I am really struggling to stay upright long enough to write a little. Such a busy day, so full of friends and activities! I had brunch with three of my besties (one of them my daughter), followed by a play (Frost and Nixon), then a photo shoot (so that I have head shots for book jackets, etc.) and ended with a hockey game (my son-in-law plays goalie). I think I deserve a sleep-in tomorrow!
The brunch was my idea, so that I could get my girls together for a meal and then a play. There were supposed to be five of us, but one was MIA so we spent the time talking about her. I’m joking. We missed her, but made the best of a bad situation by drinking her share of the mimosas.
If you are ever in Silver Spring, MD on a Sunday, Mrs. K’s Tollhouse serves a 5-star brunch that is worth the price. From the Eggs Benedict to the prime rib, everything was beautiful and delicious. I even tried my first oyster on the half-shell. I figured I better do it now or I might never have the chance (or the chutzpa) again. I don’t know that this will be my first choice off the menu in the future, but it wasn’t terrible. In fact, it was pretty good.
I think it is important to try new things, even when you are past 60. Bungee jumping and sky-diving excluded.
So now I am turning out the lights. The party is over. But what a party!
