SUMMARY

>> Total 47 points
>> OVER by 15 points .. leaving me to end this week with 2 splurge flex points remaining

>> It was a double header this weekend, as it was my dad’s 72nd birthday last Friday. I managed to turn that day into a visit, instead of a meal-fest, and we planned for something on Sunday. It was pretty nice dinner (as my mom’s a great cook!) and the whole family was there and so was my dad’s older brother (my uncle) and my aunt who are 79 and 78 respectively
>> We bought my dad a new DVD player, so he can watch movies and my brother brought the movie CLICK with Adam Sandler .. My brother’s bought him a little fish tank that fits on a counter 10″ wide and 4 guppies, although one was pregnant. He’ll be getting a surprise soon enough~
>> I should follow up on this, but my taking pictures during the meal inspired my aunt and uncle to want to check out Weight Watchers .. as they are offering a 10-free-week membership drive here in Winnipeg.

Pictures of our Dinner

That “under-the-plate” plate thingy looks nice

Just a garden salad and water for me

Ah! The Main Course

This was the ‘first’ dessert plate I had
