We had a lovely weekend. Daughter L's boyfriend's family visited. We went to one of those new escape game places on Saturday and we all had the best time solving puzzles and trying to escape from this room. We didn't, but went quite far, needing 2 more steps to 'escape'. Afterward I made this dinner pictured above, it was a mild jerk pork, a warm potato salad, bread stuffing, brussels sprouts, turnips, carrots and a tossed salad. The pork was perfectly cooked so it was a great meal and everyone enjoyed.
We also cut this delicious ice cream cake that Daughter L and her boyfriend had got for his parents as they have birthdays coming up close to Halloween. I love these ice cream cakes that have a mixture of both cake and ice cream.
On Sunday we went downtown to see a show called 'Motown' which was very good. The music was quite loud but it was the life story of Berry Gordy which was very interesting. Unfortunately on the way out of the theatre this large older man using a walker fell going up the steps. They were trying to decide how best to help him up and out of the theatre. He was blocking an entire aisle, poor man.
After the show, we went to a restaurant for a nice dinner and packed leftover pizza to take home. Husband M decided to give the pizza to a couple of homeless young people lying on the street as we walked back to our car. They were very thankful.
And that was the weekend, a very full one.

Christine sounds that you had a wonderful time with your family members. Nice to help the people who is in need...
Sounds like you had a fun weekend, that food looks gorgeous. Glad you were able to help the homeless people with the Pizza. Hugs, Valerie
That was really nice to give those guys pizza. I hope things go better for them in the future. The escape game sounds pretty cool. I've not heard of anything like that.
You had a wonderful weekend. To spend a lovely week end with family is what any one wants.
I was touched to read that your husband gave away pizzas to poor people. Not many will remember the poor and down trodden ones, the hungry and needy when they are having a good time. If the millionaires and billionaires think of the poor and really want to help them, poverty and hunger will be reduced to a large extent.
Best wishes
Holy cow, that was a full weekend. And good eats, to boot.
That dinner looked great. I like all those veggies.
That is awesome to see/hear the history of Barry Gordy. So sad about the man who fell. You know he was embarrassed. Your dinner looks really good.
Have a great week

Sounds like such a great weekend. And that is a wonderful thing to do with the pizza! So thoughtful and kind.
Busy weekend that kept you hopping. I'm sure you had a fantastic time and enjoyed every minute.
It sounds like a wonderful weekend! I love that your husband gave his pizza to a homeless person. I do that sometimes with my leftovers too.
I've never heard of a game escape place but it sounds like great fun!!! glad you had a good time with your guests.
Sounds like a beautiful weekend!!
it's sad that we have homeless youth anywhere. I saw a recent story about a Mormon family forcing their daughter out of their home because she was an atheist. A lot of other kids get kicked out for being LGBT. Makes you wonder how parents can live with themselves like that.
My husband keeps saying, "Someone should invent a new game for people. Bowling is kind of boring." I tell him every time about those escape games and I don't think he quite gets it. Maybe I should let him experience them in person!
I feel the same as you do Adam.
Stephanie it's worth a try, really fun for all ages.
"they' always say, enjoy them while they are young, but there are many rewards hanging out with adult kids!
