A nice visit

Sushi Pizza


L was able to visit us this past weekend, she got a ride from a friend at university.  It was great to see her.  We all went out to a sushi dinner on Friday night.  Pictured above is some kind of sushi pizza we've never had before.  It was a bit spicy but L liked it.

We went shopping the next day.  They had some great sales at the mall so L got some attractive new winter boots.  M got some new dress shirts which he needed.  The kids spent a lot of time watching the converted camcorder tapes of when they were little.   They have been recording odd bits with their iphones and sharing them with family on Facebook.  So everyone has been enjoying great memories, birthdays, family gatherings, vacations over the years, reunions.

It's interesting, I didn't feel that sadness I usually get whenever L leaves again.  I must be adjusting to the fact that she is all grown up now and has a wonderful life of her own to live.  Either that, or it's because it was such a quick visit!  Indeed I have my own daily stresses to keep me busy!  Most of L's friends won't be home again until Christmas.  One mom will be driving over to visit her daughter this coming weekend.

The stores here seem to be all ready for Christmas, they are certainly selling Xmas decorations already!

  1. good morning Christine, sounds like an enjoyable weekend with your family.I have never had sushi pizza, would love to try it.
    I think it gets easier as time goes by to see our children leave, it was a happy weekend as well, its harder to see them leave if they are stressed about things.
