Mother's Day 2017

For Mother's Day, Teri had said she didn't want to do something at home. I didn't want to go out so it was Wednesday before Mother's day before I sat down and really tried to come up with a place to go. Amanda, who has started to become a really  responsible person reached out to me to help find a place to eat. I was told by Teri that Amanda worked from seven to three so it had to be a dinner. I knew Gilligan's was for Nancy's birthday the following Friday, so that was out. I finally came up with Bailey's Smoke House. I took a chance. We'd been there before, but I wasn't sure if Teri was going there for other people, or she liked it too. I told Amanda, she liked the idea.
     On Mother's day we had a reservation for seven people at five PM. Our Table was upstairs in the bar and I could see the TV and the Yankee double header games. They beat the Astros in a come back win in the first game, retired Jeter's number 2 between games and in the night cap bought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth before losing, but I didn't watch the game while at dinner.
     We decide on two combination dinners that would feed a small army. Nastia doesn't like BBQ so she wanted fish cakes. I thought she should have chicken, and her reply to why she didn't want to eat the chicken came out a little princessey. She said something like I don't want chicken , because I want fish. Whatever it was it hit Teri and I wrong. Teri took her outside to talk to her. When Nastia came back she was quiet. I tell Teri if she wants to give her fish cakes she can, and I won't care, but there is no reason for her to not eat the chicken. I look over at Nastia and she is now quietly crying. Again Teri and her go outside and when they come back her mood is better and dinner progresses.
     The Food was good, we did order enough for a small army, everyone got left overs. We had enough for three meals.
     Happy Mother's Day Teri.
