Quite Frank-ly
By Moriah on August 21st, 2007
This weekend, as in the one that just passed, we had our very first visit from a Ch@ttanooga friend.
A FRIEND! THAT CAME TO SEE US!
And confirmed for us that our kids have more energy than charged electrons. Like I didn’t know that. Anyway.
Friday night Andy and Frank ate dinner in Atlantic City (at one of Andy’s restaurant accounts, obviously). I’m sure it felt just like old times, but not. I can’t comment on either the food or the conversation because I don’t have ESP.
Since the guys were gone, the kids and I spent the evening at Target, naturally. Saturday morning we ate pancakes and then went to see the aforementioned house. And then while I stayed with the kids during their nap (Mommy, the Babysitting Slave), Andy and Frank drove down to Longwood Gardens. They named it as their most extraordinary plant experience, ever. Which might be saying something.
[I confess, the whole prospect sounded a little dull to me at the time and I was quite happy to stay home and stare at Mr. TV. But probably if I had seen the website and what beauty is to behold there, I might have been a little jealous.]
Saturday evening we ordered pizza (because what else is there to eat on a Saturday night?) and the guys went to a movie so I could, yet again, be Mommy, the Babysitting Slave. But I really didn’t mind. They went to see “Transformers.” And that’s when I asked Andy, ‘uh, how old are you?’
All in good fun, of course.
Yesterday, being Sunday, we went to church. And then came home. And then ate a lasagna that Mommy, the Kitchen Slave made. For more on that riveting meal, click here.
And then Frank was off. I told him next time, to please bring his wife.

Oh, Longwood is very nice. You would definitely like it. And it’s a great place to take kids, too. When we was a kid we always had a membership there. LOVED it. Christmas has tremendous light displays, too.
Longwood Gardens is beautiful! You would love it. And, Frank should definitely bring his wife!
as blogging goes… I randomly found your site.
I grew up in West Chester and have to confess that Longwood Gardens was my *must be* engagment locale as a romantic gal growing up. Of course I grew out of that… but I freaking love that place.
Jordan says hello to Andy (and you of course… and the kiddos…and any pets…)
Enjoy the northeast- God’s country, truly.
