2010 Saturday May 8th not volleyball, michael’s mom,stoogeum, RICK’s

 due to rain & wind forecast at the beach

 the tournament was cancelled

They’re not FUN elements to play volleyball in.

Instead …. I joined Michael to visit his mom for a Mother’s Day

brunch at her apartment building.

Michael’s Mom & ME with our Mother’s day geraniums.

I was happy to see even in her apartment building they participated in the STAMP OUT HUNGER day

hmmmm… ANY IDEA where I saw this sign?

been wanting to visit the Stoogeum for awhile… basically it is a Museum dedicated to the 3 Stooges.

It’s very close to our house – actually right near Chester’s Dog School.

you were not allowed to take pictures inside – so this is all i got….. there were cameras ALL OVER!

for dinner we ventured to Rick’s in Lambertville – one of our stand by favorites

Rick’s is a byob – this is what I brought….. Decoy, 2003 , Red Wine Blend –

(which I bought after biking in 2006 – you KNOW every bottle in my cellar tells a story!)

The only “problem” with wine like this is – it tasted SO GOOD I want to drink

the whole bottle……

I happen to like Soft Shell Crabs – so when I see them on the menu i will generally order them….

for dinner I ALWAYS get their portabella parmesan – it’s my favorite!

sister Pat, friend Joyce & ME:) {Michael was photographer}

We were being goofy – LOTS OF LAUGHS!!!!

We saw these Turkey Vultures having a roadside dinner

We were trying to decide WHAT they were feasting on.. it was between Rabbit or Fox & I think we decided it was Bugs Bunny

Turkey Vultures ….. not the prettiest birds….
