I asked my Mom where she wanted to go to lunch today.
.
She said she looked on the internet and found a place in Dover, New Hampshire called @twobeespatisserie she wanted to try.
.
 So we went and had a lovely lunch on the patio overlooking the river.
.
My Mom is one smart cookie.
.
Ps. She told me to say the coffee was very good too.

When my nephew was 9 years old, I took him to an arcade where he proceeded to win 500 tickets on a Spin The Wheel game.
. 
I told him how impressed I was and that it was a big deal because I'd never seen anyone win that many tickets on that game ( and I've spent a lot of time in arcades).
.
The next day we were at a different arcade (because I take my Nephew Entertainment Duties seriously) and he said he wanted to play that same game so he could win 500 tickets again. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it would be impossible to win 500 tickets two days in a row, so I figured I'd just let him play and he'd get taught a lesson about unrealistic expectations in life.
.
So he goes and wins 500 tickets again. And I'm the one who got taught a lesson.
