There is a time.

dreamlingI spent the day with my mother, we managed some errands away from the house, my brother kindly decided to hang out with Dad for the day. We had a lovely lunch at the Claddagh over at the west side. I'd never been inside that restaurant, it's wonderful inside. Even though it's a pretty new building, they did what they could to make things appear like they'd been there for years, weathered plaster and beams, and lots of different places to sit. We shared a half order of the famous Fish and Chips, and they were indeed fantastic. We also tried the corned beef and cabbage spring rolls, which were delightful.
On our way out, we wandered into the Cheeseburger In Paradise restaurant next door, because I hadn't been in there either. What fun, all sorts of beachy decorations, and they actually had one whole wall open to the outside, (three garage doors), and a man playing trumpet and bongos waved to us as we wandered into and out of the place.
After that I bought some new clothes for work from some of the stores nearby. I'd been needing some new shirts and pants, and found lots to try on.
Then, we finally did get to do the thing we'd gone over to the west side to do in the first place, order my bridesmaid dress for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jess_roqs september wedding!! They didn't have one in my size to try on, though I did try on another tea length dress to get an idea about how the right one will fit. The dress should arrive in 4-6 weeks, apparently. Next up will be shoes, though it doesn't look like the store that had them carries them anymore. Will have to investigate.
On our way home, we wandered by the Roselawn cementery, and walked around a bit looking at the grounds, which were still covered in flowers from memorial day. We found a few places that seemed nice for the place where my parents will be interred. The lawns are well kept, and they have many large and beautiful trees, no headstones, just plaques that lie flat on the grounds, marking the plots, with an occassional engraved marble bench here and there. The weather was fantastic, sunlight, light breeze. Made it much easier to do. Mostly just an exploratory walk, nothing is decided or paid for yet. Mom's trying to get as many things done now, as they will likely be 100x harder to do later.
