Granny and her friend Virginia Cooke have come up for the weekend. They are staying more in the suburbs, in an area called Brookline that is very close to my apt. We did an "Old Town Trolley Tour" yesterday. One of those things where you pay for the whole day and then you can jump on and off as you please. I had seen most everything before but never all in a row like that so it helped me to put some of the pieces together mentally.
We ate at a Japanese restaurant for dinner on both Thursday and Friday, and not the same one. Dad says never in his life has he eaten at an Asian restaurant with his mother, so either she has branched out at age 80 or they wanted to dine at places that were within rock-throwing distances of the hotel and they just got unlucky. Tonight we ate at a "New England Grill" called Fireplaces which was even farther out into the suburbs, but seemed a little more their speed. They are both bragging that they are showing me new parts of my city I wouldn't have known about otherwise. I think the waitress has never gotten such a kick out of her customers. They asked her about everything in this deep Southern accents and went on and on about how they couldn't believe there were "hominy cheese grits" on the menu.
I haven't been feeling well since last night so I have been laying around most of the day, except for dinner tonight. I think it is just a bad head cold, but I am getting really bored by sitting in bed all day. Whether I am feeling better, or not, we have an early breakfast and a cruise on the Charles River planned for tomorrow, so I need to go to bed. In the picture of both of them, my grandmother is on the right.
