Remembrance Day Weekend
I was looking forward to the long weekend. My mom was coming to visit and we'd get to spend the entire weekend hanging out and catching up...
Friday evening I stopped in at Kristi's for a bit and did some fun eye makeup on the gals before I headed over to the bus station to pick up my mom. We wound up having an early night.
Saturday we did some shopping and ran a few errands. I found new curtains for my living room and bedroom and we did a bit of re-decorating and I'm really happy with how it's looking now. It's good to spruce things up a bit now and then. The curtains were quite inexpensive as well. We got them from Wicker Emporium. We also picked up a couple of cushions and nice mirror for my hallway that was on sale for a great price. She treated Keith and I to a tasty meal at Churchills that evening, and we wound up heading back to my place after and chatted until Keith had to head to work.
Sunday morning we met Lisa for brunch at Reggie's and then enjoyed a quiet day in. Things were closed due to Remembrance Day, and it was still pretty chilly and windy out so I didn't mind taking it easy. Mom finished reading "The Kite Runner" and left it behind for me to read. It's on my list - after I finish reading about 10 other books that I have on the go at the moment. That evening we made a modified version of a recipe that she used to make when I was in high school and university. If I remember, I'll post it here. It's essentially fish rollups - sole fillets rolled with rice and cheese (lactose-free in my case) and broccoli (cauliflower this time as that was all I had) and onions. All put in a casserole dish and oh-so-tasty. Not to mention healthy too.
Monday we went out to get a couple more items that I didn't get a chance to pick up on Saturday and then we enjoyed another mellow day. We treated ourselves to pad thai from the Thai Hut and then Keith came by and we watched Ratatouille which was great!
It was nice to have mom visit. I hope she had a great trip!
