Ma made up for her negligence on my big day by sharing her porridge with me before taking me for an extra long walk yesterday.

I got my feet a little filthy in the forest so she had to take me the long way home to be sure I didn’t soil her sparkling carpet.
No problem for me or the niece as it was cool!
We had another viewing so had a quick cruise also.
We went to Trader Joe’s to get Gluten-free fare for the tearoom. Ma said it was crazy busy worse than Christmas Eve.
Patels the India grocers is just across the road from TJs so we went there too to stock up on raisins and snacks and sweets and spices.
Dad always likes to potter around Patels. The smells make him feel the flavors of home.
Must say I enjoy a taste of India myself although it is usually rationed lest I get Delhi Belly. Better stick to the Scotch Irish stuff.
