Not too impressive . . .


Stopped for lunch at The Gentleman Farmer Diner located at the former Gold Eagle and once upon a very sort time ago the Thai Sushi Restaurant and was not impressed. Puppy's Pop had one of their specials, whole belly clams and fish and chip combo. I just had fish and chips. It was about a $36 mediocre lunch. I took the fish out of the batter coating as did Puppy's Pop. I should have tried a BLT. They have a monster sized menu and there were quite a few customers for sleepy Plainfield on a Tuesday but I would not be tempted to go there again. Richoni's has by far the best fish and chips.

Had a nice chat with youngest. She just negotiated herself a pretty good sized raise and is quite happy. Grampa teasingly asked if their house, when they buy one, will have room for model planes and she did say they were looking for 4 bedrooms! Yikes. Another place to rest our weary heads. Poor G. would probably have a heart attack! We truly are looking forward to their visits home. We're not good at traveling long hours on long flights. Not sure how older brother and his wife can calmly contemplate travel to the other side of the globe. I'm thankful the kids are pretty close by! Of course one always willingly and lovingly does whatever is necessary to hug a kid, whether big or little!

Think I'll complete my eight year hooked rug today and then try to figure out what I am going to do with it. Quelle catastrophe! A rug that doesn't fit anywhere.
