What a nice weekend its been in general, but today's been the best - nice a relaxing! The car's still in the shop - it's in good hands with our friend Mike at Carson Cars. Mike is such a lovely person, plus he is always so generous to our whole family. If anyone needs a great used car (I know what you're thinking, no such thing exists....but it does it Mike's place) or you need your car repaired, its definatly worth a trip to Mikes. His salesman don't pressure you and are all really nice people....anyway, thats where the truck is right now. We actually just sent it in for a service because its been making weird noises (but at 210,000 miles you kind of expect that!)..the weird noise ended up being a leaking head which Mike's team fixed right up. We are looking forward to getting it back today or tomorrow - meantime we are driving in a sweet loaner, a buick century. If I ever get a speeding ticket in the US its going to be in this car. It's really a sports car in disguise and is a super peppy car!
We all loaded in the car this morning and set our for our Sunday ritual - a 40 minute drive south to church, (which, coincidentally used to be a 2 minute walk from our old place). CSL is a great place to set you up for the week and todays topic was on forgiveness and how to forgive you have to love and to love you have to be forgiving. The concept that love and forgiveness are wrapped up together really seems simple but it came as a bit of an a-ha moment to me.

After church we headed to one of our favorite places, Bengal Tiger they have delicious indian food at anytime of the day or night but on the weekends they have a wonderful lunch buffet. Those of you who know me well know that buffets....not really my style typically, I dont like to line up for my food (seems to akin to what you would do in prison) and I dont really like people all over MY food :-)....anyways, Bengal Tiger and the MGM Grand Buffet in Vegas are my two exceptions, oh, and the Super China Buffet at Northgate. Back to the Bengal Tiger, the buffet is $6.95 per person, phenomonal value! It was a great way to introduce the three kids to Indian food a couple of years back when we started going and remains one of their favorites.
Course, the only problem with a buffet is that you almost always eat too much and butter chicken typically leaves you in need of a nananap post game - which is precisely what we did upon arriving home. When we got up after our hour long snooze Elliott had harvested all the onions from the pottage
Gen was in her usual position on the couch, reading a magazine
and Dot was watching home alone.
Course Betty just was glad of the opportunity to rest, she was exhausted from a days sleeping.
