On Saturday morning I woke the girls at 9:30 am and made breakfast for them.. then one mother came and picked up her DD and I delivered another to her home environment... then my dear niece (not the one DR Jose so kindly feted, but her younger sister) and the Vixter & I went to meet my parents and my brother , SIL and the other two nieces for a Pre- Mother's Day lunch at the local Applebees
Vixdad stayed home awaiting the new stove
Lunch was wonderful and afterwards, since the weather was finally fine, the Vixter and I went out so she could finally try out her new 21 speed Schwinn bicycle... her birthday present from her dad & I.
Alas, no stove ever arrived, just an automated phone call from Sears stating that our delivery was scheduled for Sunday afternoon....
SUNDAY!? Whoda thunk it... but arrive it finally did on Sunday....
Unfortunately they don't install so Vixdad (whose Dad is a chartered electrical engineer and passed on his knowledeg to his son) hardwired the stove into the electrical system.. unfortunately it took several hours and two trips to Home Depot... so we wern't actually able to cook on said stove... so Mother's Day dinner consisted of Chinese Takeout.. which was very good however!!
And that is where I have been!!
