Saturday we woke, got dressed and Chloe and I got dropped off at the train station just in time to jump on the train and head down to Long Beach. It was a really pleasant ride down this time, with friends we knew on the train and some new ones too. Mom and Mike picked us up and that night we went out to dinner at a really great italian place in Belmont Shore called Papaluccis. Chloe was so good, just sitting in her seat and eating noodles. Sunday was about hanging out with Grandma and Great Grandma. We shopped and lunched and walked. This is why the women of our culture are the storytellers, the passers on of the traditions and customs. We get together like this and just can't stop talking. It would drive the men crazy, so we go without them. I cherish these outings, this time I get to spend with my daughter, mother and grandmother... four generations... it fills me with gratitude and pride. That night it was take out Thai and Pay Per View. These nights are also fun. The only downfall of the weekend was a literal down fall. Chloe fell out of the bed in the middle of the night, causing a near heart attack in me and a small "ouchie" on her head. Monday was the train ride home, delayed and crowded, but fine and brought us back to our loving, warm little home. Papa was eager to greet us and we were so glad to see him. So, that's it weekend! That's you in a nutshell. Thanks for having us!
