Visiting Mom at Asbury

Today we went to REI to get a tent repaired and purchase a repair kit for an air mattress, and then went to Asbury to visit Mom.

Mom never gets Mexican food in her dining room, so she had a hankerin' for some and suggested El Sombrero restaurant not far from her place. I've been there several times and always liked their food, so we drove over and discovered Friday was one of 2 days when they offer a buffet lunch with 8 or 9 choices. Since I tend to get a combination plate at any Mexican restaurant, it suited me just fine, and as it turned out, all 3 of us partook of the buffet. Yummy!

Then it was back to Asbury where we spent some time checking out their aviary cases, one of which is pictured here...

Then we visited for over an hour in Mom's unit where I got this photo of Ellen and Mom outside her door which prominently displays one of the wreaths Ellen made this summer out of sage and oregano from her garden and wildflowers from along the backroads of Arkansas where we biked.
