MODA's Birthday

MODA, AKA Mother Tricia, has a Birthday tomorrow.  Our little gang took her out last night to celebrate the fact that she was born unto this earth and by so doing forever changed the course of our lives.  On our way out of the hood I had to take these ladies to do their civic duty.  We were recalling the fact that exactly one year ago that very night, we were pretty much doing the exact same thing.  We went out to eat and on the way home we found out our beloved President was reelected.  And then almost as a sign we found April's cat freshly run over in the middle of the road.  We gathered him up and took him to her house where she and her children buried him the next day, only to find him alive and well again a few days later.  It was an election night miracle!  April had to make an announcement in Relief Society the following Sunday that if anyone was missing a cat it was probably buried in her back yard, but that she did provide a lovely service for it.  Oh fun memories!

After voting and much debate about where to eat (or to more adequately describe it- after much indecisiveness)  we decided to try out Twigs.  It was delicious.

I have eaten then before, only under slightly different circumstances.  BTW- the concrete floors in the joint look AWE-SOME!

FYI:  Don't eat at Twigs if you only have an hour before your movie starts (even if the movie theater is just a few feet away).  About 12 minutes into the actual movie (even after all 10,000 previews) we finally made it to our seats, even though Mama Foster threw away the tickets with her toothpick before we actually got to the theater.  Thankfully the nice man still let us in.  We saw Ender's Game and yes, I did stay awake through the whole thing.  Although with about 5 minutes left in the movie I leaned over to April and told her if it didn't end soon I was going to put my head on her shoulder and take a nap.
