Mother's Day Munch-Out

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there!

We had a pleasant Mother's Day celebration. In fact, our celebration ran for 2 days, with Ariana and me taking Carol out to lunch at Pop Casey's in Acushnet yesterday and Roma, Ariana, and me taking my mother out to El Rancho Grande in Providence today.

El Rancho Grande opened up just before Mother's Day last year, and Roma and I thought that it would be a fun place to take our mother to.

And it was a fun place. Maria, the owner, greeted us personally as we entered and later stopped by to chat with us. The food was awesome. All mothers got roses. And the dessert cake was super moist and out of this world.

We were happy to find out that it was the same way this year too.

Here's our mother enjoying her drink at the table.

Ariana and her Močiute (that's Lithuanian for "Grandmother") enjoying each other's company.

Roma is being her usual diva self.

Michael (on the right) and his friend Eric are mugging it up for the camera. How bro-mantic. LOL

Ariana brought Callee with her to Providence (though she didn't bring her to the restaurant). Everyone fell in love with her.

While we were gone, little Callee never left her spot on the sofa in Mam's living room. That could be because Callee still does not yet know how to jump.

After coming back from El Rancho Grande, we spent some time chit-chatting and playing with the kitten.

And as usual, Roma and I spent time together upstairs, rummaging through the various bedrooms that were crammed full with all sorts of goodies in search of hidden treasures. (We found a photo of me when I was still in high school! Boy did I have great legs back then!)

But like all good things, our delightful visit to Providence had to come to an end. And we all went our separate ways carrying with us good feelings and good memories from this day.
