For the past couple of weeks, it’s LOOKED like fall in the Ville, but it certainly hasn’t FELT like fall. One would think in mid-October in Indiana, the air would be crisp. Right? Well, over the weekend I wore a turtleneck t-shirt and thought I would stroke out from heat. I’m pretty sure we’re on the down-side of the beautiful fall foliage thing, but it is quite a bit cooler today and should remain as such for the rest of the week.
As an aside — I know the following photos are crappy. The junk camera I carry in my purse somehow got switched to the lowest resolution possible. It might’ve had something to do with a mischievous little girl who likes gadgets almost as much as I do. For a pretty awesome video explanation of how technology is shaping the lives of our youth, check out: A magazine is an iPad that doesn’t work. Too cute! =)
My weekend excursions almost always begin with debate over where to eat. We all have our favorite places — but it never fails…
I’m pro steak establishments — and Ben is pro anything other than what I prefer. He always starts the ‘where to eat list’ with Thai Spice, drops down a notch to a Japanese restaurant he loves, and finally compromises …anyplace that isn’t a steakhouse. The floating cheeseburger in the photo below should clue you in on the location of our weekend’s restaurant of mutual concession:
I would say Cheeseburger in Paradise is medium priced, and the atmosphere and service are above average. Besides, it felt like a victory for me! I didn’t have to eat Thai Spice. After dinner, the day got even better! We had a perfect visit with (and got an extremely imperfect snapshot of) my Great Aunt Kak (my Nanny’s only living sibling that Ben fondly called “Aunt Crack” when he was too small to know better). Kak is 95, and I hope I’m only 1/2 as spry and sharp at that age. Coco thought she was pretty darned scary.
I imagine I would be scared if I came across a great great great aunt of mine too.
