I hope, I will not be traveling anytime soon. I will drive mom to Ankara late August and return early September. Then I will most likely take the train to Ankara mid October for our doctor visits before my flight to the US. That is all I want to do.
We left Izmir early yesterday in the morning and went to a small town where we had a summer home many years ago. Mom said, she missed the place so, I decided to re-route. We made it there by lunch time, had lunch at my mom's favorite place, sat by the marina, had coffee and bought ourselves matching sun dresses. Lol!
Then we stopped at another town to visit an outlet store and looked at towels as if we needed more. She bought a pair of bedroom slippers and I bought a sheet for her bed.
We bought a water melon, two melons and some onions on the road.
All this activity and road took 12 hours. Mom told me she had a very happy day and that comment made my day. She was very exhausted this morning but still happy. So, I went out alone and did our food shopping. I did not buy vegetables since, I want to get them from the farmers market on Saturday. I bought a lot of meat for upcoming meals and fish for tonight's dinner.
I am glad we have food in the freezer that I cooked a couple of weeks ago. We do not need to cook much for a while. I am planning light meals such as a salad and some kind of meat. I would like to have a soft taco night since I have been craving that kind of food. I make my salsa and guacamole from scratch.
I also did three loads of laundry today so, I am exhausted. Good to be back at home.
Sounds nice, but I can see why you both are exhausted. I love that you bought matching dresses :)
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, my dad and I went and bought corduroy and found a tailor to have matching pants. I must have been 10 or 12 at the time. We were so proud. Dad passed way too early. Sigh...
