Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful fathers out there! I hope you're having a fabulous day.
We decided to go to the McKinley High School, Friends of the Library annual book sale today. It was absolutely loads of fun! We took my brother, Dennis since his family would be celebrating Father's Day later and his morning was free. It was a good thing we went early because it started to steadily get rather packed as the morning progressed. It was interesting to see which authors were popular. I saw a ton of Robert Ludlum, Mary Higgins Clark, Nora Roberts and Dan Brown. I also got Michael Crichton's State of Fear (hardback) for $2.00. Even better, it was large print.
Then we went out to lunch at the New Eagle Restaurant (a Hawaiian version of Bakers Square) and had loco moco and saimin (bowl of noodles). Art had never had loco moco so he decided to give it a try.
The loco moco is a bowl of (brown) rice with hamburger and gravy topped with a couple of eggs. He said it was OK... Art says he's going to run this evening to work off the calories.
The saimin was OK...
The best part of the day was a call from KC and Tif (She pooped in the potty! Yae!) and a Skype call from our son, Jon. Tif told Art to expect a package from them tomorrow. Mom says she will make a huge pot of nishime (Japanese stew) on Tuesday for Art since it's his favorite dish. All in all, a very nice day to be sure.

ReplyDeleteDan Brown and Ludlum are popular here too.At a recent book fare i bought many books but hardly getting any time to read .
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a glimpse of your Father's Day.
sorry Typo...Fair not fare.
ReplyDeleteHave never been to that book sale. Next Sunday is the last day, so the leftover books will all sell for 50 cents each! What a bargain!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good day, Kay.
I love loco moco and saimin! I was careful not to have loco moco very often, but I practically lived ion saimin when we were moving.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog and I really enjoy the musings/photos. I love, love the photos the food and terrain, but then I'm a City Daily Photo gal from way back! Keep on musing!

It sounds as if everyone appreciates Art! That book sale looks yummy. Good thing I didn't go to it, I guess.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a great meal too. The best part is hearing from the kids.
