This weekend started out with meeting PB's Brother's family at Dan's Family Restaurant for Breakfast. This restaurant is so near and dear to my heart I have been eating there with 4 generations of family at this restaurant and remember going there with my Mom, Aunts, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. I also have memories of meeting up with my Dad here when he was in better health for either lunch or breakfast. This is also were ND and I celebrated our new job over breakfast. Chances are if I have had a meal with you at Dan's the odds are I really really like you.
Anyway breakfast this time was a nice affair this was my son's first time meeting this part of PB's side of the family and we all really got along so well. I really like them and they are so down to earth plus the kids are so adorable and growing up so fast. It seems like just a short time ago they were born. I hope we are all able to spend more time together. As it is It seems that I have very little immediate family in my life as my brothers kids rarely talk to me due to frictions and misunderstandings of the past. I am hoping one day we can all move past that but only time will tell. However it is nice to be accepted for who you are and to be judged by your true character and not based off of some lies or exaggerations that have been said about you. I digress though I am trying my best to move on from all of this and take the high road. After breakfast we wound up meeting up with them at the Orlando Science Center as we all had annual passes. It's a wonder we haven't run into them there before. The kids seem to really like it there and loved the kids town area very much. They have expanded this area so much since my son was little he would have also went nuts over this area if he was their age again.
Once we left the science center we went to 'Out of the Closet' Thrift store which I found very Unique. There were quite a few items that I could have purchased but held back as it was not in the budget for this week. I look forward to going back in the future and seeing what other treasures I can find. We also stopped by Gideons bake House for Bonnies Cookies (Lemon Poppyseed flavor) and the Lemon Poppy Seed cake as well as they will no longer have this flavor come October and this is one of my all time favorites.
Sunday found me back at the Orlando Science Center meeting up with TD I have not seen this woman for many many years (at least 10 years, I think) anyway we worked in the Theme parks for years together and I have always been very found of her. She has been through so much and is so strong and such a wonderful person. I am so happy that we got to spend so many hours reconnecting. It's so amazing to know someone since your twenties and knowing them going into the 40's. It's like watching someone grow up and it's an amazing experience. I can't wait to hang out with her again. As Anne from Anne of Green Gables would say she is a kindred spirit indeed.
