Mom's visit

We just finished our long weekend with my mom & my 24 year old niece, Michal [that’s right – HER name is Michal. The names are just a McC thing…]. I thought I would offer some highlights from the weekend:

• My sister Nic helpfully reminded me that “Michal doesn’t eat anything with a face”. Well now…whatever happened to just saying “vegetarian”? I don’t really need to think of my food’s features when deciding who to serve it to.
• My OTHER sister’s contribution to the weekend’s itinerary – “take them to that hang-gliding place. You could see the nude beach through the camera zoom lens!” [Mom loved it, by the way]
• With mom AND Rita cooking, I got to wash dishes I never even knew we had.
• Michal and I returned from our dog-walk around the neighborhood to find my mom regaling the yard guys to the point that they were Laughing. Out. Loud. And I’m pretty sure they don’t speak a word of English.
• Only ONE of Rita’s really, really good bottles of wine is gone. [And that’s from BEFORE mom got here =)]

Tune in tomorrow for some of the lowlights =) [smiley face down payment]
