Grandma and I went to lunch yesterday for my BirthDay. She said to choose where I wanted to go, so I chose a new place we'd not eaten at previously...Katie's Place. It's a gourmet restaurant that takes common dishes, and spruces them up. It was yummy good. I had lemon chicken on a bed of bow tie pasta mixed with garlic bread, calamata and green olives, and garlic cloves. Grandma had a pulled pork horseshoe, but the cheese sauce was different...lighter...and white, rather than the yellow cheese. Grandma was nervous about going...'gourmet' made her think 'fancy'...it was a casual atmosphere...very nice...chucklin'...Grandma was very reluctant, but will go back...she liked it that well.
I'm headin' over to her house again today...prep for Turkey Day on Thursday. There will be 20 people there for dinner. I miss doin' my own thing. It's weird not planning the meal like I always did...shopping...getting things ready. Sara is making the pumpkin pies...Grandma bought the others from a place called the Apple Barn in Chatham. We'll pick them up this afternoon. I'm makin' the dressing...creamed white corn...a fruit salad. I think Grandma likes havin' my help. That's a lot of food for so many people. Sheesh...we never had that many people at home...did we?
Ro called me last night for a talk...to wish me Happy BirthDay. She sounds so good, honey. I can't get over how...well...grown up she sounds.
Sending hugs and much love...yer Motha...

I swear the first time I read this blog, it said different things? Posssibly I am dreaming about reading your blog at night and making things up. What does that mean? lmao. That food sounds amazing, you know pasta is one of my weaknesses. Tell Grandma Carol I said hi and I love her.
