My sister Patty is in NE Ohio to babysit my great-nieces Amy Marie and Emily because their parents celebrated their Tenth Anniversary by driving to Chicago last weekend! Today, they attended a wedding of one of my nephew's closest friends! I only know him as Johnny Parmesan!
My first sighting was at a Tuesday Afternoon dinner at Bob Evans on Cedar Road in South Euclid! I had grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans with bacon (It was supposed to include broccoli.). There were also biscuits and honey! Patty had an omelet with pumpkin bread that she loved! Since I had a slightly late lunch at the Taco Bell on Broadview Road in Parma, I brought home leftovers that ended up as Bob's dinner! Bob was with me at Taco Bell, but decided while we were waiting for a bus that was running late that he was not up to attending the dinner.
After lunch, I rode the #35 bus downtown. I then took the Blue line train to the end of the line! The Fresh Market provided me "amusement" while I waited for the #41 bus to take me to Bob Evans! Since I was early, I visited Target and Whole Foods Market. My amusement at Whole Foods was the price of Orange Juice. It was $5.99 for sixty-four ounces (If you wanted Organic, it was a dollar extra.). I assume that it was not from concentrate, but the label was unclear! For less than half the price, Aldi would happily sell you a similar product! After Whole Foods, I walked over to Bob Evans and ate dinner.
After dinner, Patty drove me to the Blue Line Station! I just missed the train, but the next train was ten minutes later. After the train, I took two buses towards my house because I wanted to limit my walking because I am under the weather as well.
On Friday Morning, Patty made her second appearance. She came to visit Bob on her way to visit our Aunt Rita in Westlake. I was just an added attraction!! I was invited to come with her, but I had a prior commitment with our sister Kathleen to go shopping. After Patty left, Kathleen and I went to Marc's and Giant Eagle on Snow Road in Parma. We then went to a nearby Arby's to pick up some take out food that we enjoyed. I cut out the coupons in the car that were used for the food that wasn't Kathleen's. She had her own coupon!
Today, Patty, Kathleen, Maggie, our niece Mandy, and our great-nieces Amy Marie and Emily went to Maggiano's Little Italy to enjoy a nice lunch! The adults took advantage of a deal that included an entrée to eat there, and an entrée to take home. I had Spaghetti and Meatballs! In addition to the take-home entrée, I have leftovers. Most of us had dessert! Mandy did not order dessert, but they brought out a dessert that was crescent shaped because she is a celebrating a birthday on Monday! Patty and Maggie both had the dessert sampler. I had the cheesecake sampler! It was delicious, so Bob may end up with Maggie's leftover cheesecake. By the way, the rolls were awesome.
After lunch, Maggie drove me home to drop off the leftovers. She then dropped me off at St. Leo's Church on Broadview Road. I learned tonight that Father Lowe is leaving St. Leo's to become Pastor at Our Lady of Angels Church on Rocky River Drive in Cleveland on November 1st, but he is staying at St. Leo's until December 1st. Ironically, at lunch, Patty mentioned during a conversation about priests that she wished for a new priest at her church back home in Lancaster, MA because he had been there for a long time (Twenty Years)! I will miss Father Lowe, but the new pastor could be interesting!
This week has been memorable!
