Saturday Afternoon Memories

Jalál (Glory), 10 Mulk (Dominion), 169 B.E. - Saturday, February 16, 2013 about 3:10 P.M. Pacific Time

It's Saturday afternoon and clouds cover most of the sky. I remember a Saturday afternoon when my mother and I went out to eat. Mom like going to a restaurants. When she was working at the Showboat we would go out to eat once a week. Mom work at the Showboat for years and she continued working there when it changed hands and became the Castaways.

Mom worked in the coffee shop and then later in the Employee's Dining Room. Mom enjoyed working, in fact she worked until she was in her early 80s and the hotel casino closed its doors. After the business closed and Mom retired, we continued to go out to eat about once a month. We finally had to stop going out because it became difficult for Mom to get in and out of the car.

I miss going out to eat with Mom. I have not been out to eat this year, In fact, I have not been out to eat since October of last year. At least, I do not think I have been out to eat since October of 2012, not to a real restaurant anyway. I might have bought fast food, but that is not going to a restaurant because I purchase the food to bring home instead of eating in the restaurant.
