Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2005. Mattie was three years old and that week, he was in Los Angeles visiting my parents. Mattie absolutely loved visiting the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum. The beauty of these pits is that they are still conducting archeological digs, which Mattie found fascinating to observe! I remember these moments in time, and I did not even realize how lucky I was to be living a normal life.

My parents have known each other for 71 years! It is quite remarkable and I know my mom enjoyed the outing. My dad is another story. He can eat something and two minutes later, he has NO memory of it! Case in point, on Tuesday night, as I was cleaning up the dinner dishes, he asked me..... would it be easier if we went out of dinner? Mind you he just ate, he was still sitting at the table, and I was actively cleaning up dishes! Sometimes, I ask myself.... is it worth taking him out to eat? As long as I can, I will, but it is a feat, and even with Imodium on board, I took him to the bathroom twice, and once he needed to be completely changed.

My mom snapped this photo of me today.
Some of the beauty that surrounded us at lunch.
Plants, trees, and gardens all around!
To me this place is just a magical setting, and is so different from the fast paced, loud, and modern restaurants in our area.
The outdoor area under a tent. Because of my dad's reaction to bug bites, I put OFF all over him today.
The restaurant has its own gardens. This amuse-bouche, was tomato and pepper (fresh from the garden!) bisque. It was delicious!
This appetizer was a trio of Salmon.
A tomato salad from the garden.
Halibut!
We had four desserts on the table:

They brought out this complimentary strawberry cake to celebrate my parent's anniversary.
