After hanging out for a bit, we went to town for lunch at Lure Fish House. It was jammed, but we had only fifteen minutes to wait, then were seated. I was so full from brunch that I ordered only raw oysters and a cup of clam chowder. Of course, I had a frosty IPA with the meal.
After lunch, we strolled around town and stopped in a few shops before heading home. I had received phone calls and Mothers Day wishes from my other childen, along with a fun gift: a gift card for a wash, cut, and blow dry right here at the salon--tip included. My niece, Joan, called from Brooklyn with holiday wishes and it was fun to talk to her.
We got back to my place about 4:00 and Ellen and I proceeded to deal the cards for gin rummy while Greg napped on the sofa. Ellen beat me miserably, but that's nothing new. While we were engaged in our battle, Mike called from Singapore and we enjoyed talking to him. Saw Violet for just a few minutes to say hello, as she was about to leave to take year-end exams.
El and Greg left about 5:00 and I went downstairs to join Keith, Kathie, and LaVerne for dinner. It was fried shrimp along with sides and, being stuffed from lunch, opted for the shrimp only, which was pretty good.
Another poor sleeping night. I'm going to have to concentrate on increasing my exercise from here on in.
