The Return

Yeah, I was gone from 8:30am to 4pm, not exactly a two week trek to the Himalayas. We spent time at my sister’s house, took her to Mad Eats (pictured is my Tuna Poke Bowl), and then made it to the birthday party of my dad’s friend at 1pm. I told him to turn the car off, but even with a 27 F temperature, being in the sun kept me plenty warm. They stayed 35 minutes, and then we headed home. His friend really is incredible. He’s 70, hikes the rim of the Grand Canyon every year, and although he beat the cancer he had into being undetectable, they said it IS somewhere in his body. Yet, he’s only about to retire this year from his church. What a guy! Anyway, I enjoyed seeing my sister and her family. It was a good time.

I'm so glad you went and got to see all of your family. Plus, you had a yummy lunch, and didn't have to be the driver. Lots of wins for the day there.

@AmbiePam I have a feeling that the kids absolutely worship their Aunt Amber. Just a feeling...

That looks so good and healthy. I would like to try a dish like that. Yes, sun through a car window is very warm even in cold weather.

And it filled me up from 11:15am to 8pm. I only ate half, and wasn’t hungry until then. I’ll have the rest tomorrow.

It was very good, and not rough on my mouth, which was sore, for some reason.

@AmbiePam That's good. It is hard to eat some foods with a sore mouth.

It can be surprisingly warm sitting in a car if it's in the sun. Your Dad's friend sounds pretty incredible.

It was also filling. It’s 7:38pm, and I haven’t eaten anything but that at 11:15am. Plus, I took half of it home. I never get that full.

Pretty cool, somethings you just cannot do anything about, you just live it like its your last day.
