From The Past: August 6, 2008

Today was my Mom’s birthday. We took her six petit fores from Mondelli’s Bakery:

I tried going to a closer bakery downtown, however they didn’t have anything near as pretty as these. I guess it’s best to stick with what you know.

Dad brought in Charlie’s for lunch:

They both ate fish, but mom had crinkle fries and dad had onion rings. Those onion rings looked scrumptious! We will have to try them soon. I still haven’t had fish anywhere that compares to Charlie’s, including high-priced fish restaurants.

Mom had her lumbar puncture. She said it didn’t hurt that much when she had it and her back is not hurting her now. They won’t have any results from the LP for a while.

Now, for a funny email:
