I gotta say…

Last Saturday was a very good day.  It started with waking up early to drive Ikuko to work.  On the way home I stopped by Walmart to get a couple birthday cards for her and look for some cheap necklaces that she likes so much.  Nothing they had was tolerable even with the dirt cheap prices so other than the cards I just got her a few pairs of comfortably boring panties.  As I left the store a few flakes were falling gently from formerly spring sky.  Since Target wasn’t going to open for another half hour, I headed home to grab the boy to take with me.  We spent the next few hours browsing through Target, picking out necklaces and outfits.  After years of having trouble finding clothes big enough to fit my beautiful sex goddess I took a cue from my son and went to the kids section.  She actually fits the kiddie clothes. 

Next we journeyed to the grocery store for the weeks shopping and to grab a cake.  Then back home to clean the house, do the weeks laundry, prep for dinner and about that time the call came to pick Ikuko up. 

Spontaneously, instead of heading right home we detoured to the local co-op.  I’d been wanting to try my hand at roast lamb but had never been able to find a leg of lamb at any grocery store of meat market.  Some locals had mentioned that the co-op might have some and surprisingly they did.

While we were there I can into a patient of mine.  An elderly local dentist who is as sweet as they come, but has no interest in listening to my medical advice.  Her whole family are doctors, making the lack of compliance difficult, and her daughter an anesthesiologist was in town and she wanted to introduce her to my wife and I. 

Back home I had fun trying out a leg of lamb for the first time and throwing a little birthday party bash.  Halo was enjoying it more than anyone even though it wasn’t his birthday.  He insisted on relighting the birthday candles after the first go-round so that he could blow them out too.

A week later is his birthday, so Iku and I both are taking off and looking forward to more family time.
