My parental units came to visit this weekend! Hooray! They've only seen our little Indiana home one other time. That was very brief and way back in November. Since then we've painted our bedroom, gained a few pieces of furniture and really settled in to making the place cozy. It was also the first time they've been here since I've become a bonafide future graduate student so a little campus tour was in order. Plus, company is the best excuse to hit a different restaurant for every meal! We managed to try Indian (in the rain on the patio, so cozy), vegetarian and Burmese this time. This weekend was also Mother's Day and so...
As a belated thank you to my fantastic mom, here are some important things she has taught me:
There is no secret recipe to being in great shape in your 50s. Exercise and a healthy diet does it. Don't waste time with the gimmicks.
A bad mood can be remedied by a little aggressive activity: running, weeding the garden, pulling up carpet.
Food you grow is always better than food you buy.
A dog is a girl's best friend.
The gray pants, they go with everything.
Thanks Mom! Stay tuned for a Dad version in June!
