Brian and I had a date night on Saturday, just the two of us. We had dinner at Mt. Fuji in Southlands, and it was so yummy. Then we went to see Gran Torino starring Clint Eastwood. It was a really, really good movie. We both really enjoyed it. Clint Eastwood plays a widow who refuses to move out of his old neighborhood, even though it is now full of gangs, mostly made up of Hmong immigrants. A gang is trying to recruit the son of the family who lives next door to CE's character. As the son's initiation into the gang, they want him to steal CE's gran torino car. CE catches him, and his family insists that he work for CE to make it up to him. You can guess where it goes from there. Great story, and actually very funny. We had a great time, and Simon and Nina were thrilled to have another night with our beloved babysitter, Shalimar.
We missed church on Sunday due to being out late the night before and the time change. Brian had time to finish putting the grill together and we christened it with our friends down the street for dinner. Barbecued chicken! It was so much fun. We hadn't planned on getting together, but the "guys" called at around 3:30, asking if Brian could help them move some sand from their backyard. We all went over and hung out and then decided to have dinner together. My friend made a wonderful lentil and rice pilaf. We love impromptu dinners with the neighbors! Have a great week everyone!
