A Happy 50th

Ellen’s mom’s odometer recently — and gracefully — hit 50. To celebrate, we hit up Mamma Mia. Who knew how big an ABBA fan I was?
Afterwards, we dined at The Charthouse in Weehawken. I’ve driven by this restaurant twice daily for years, and I’ve been missing out. The view, the food, the wine and the service were all fantastic. Actually, the service was rather slow. But since we had nowhere to go, the complimentary dessert (“Whatever you want on the menu!”) was far preferable to timely entree delivery.

This is me getting all artsy with the Digital ELPH.

And here’s us. I need to remember to unbutton my jacket before having our picture taken. I could also remember to lose ten pounds.
My dad also just celebrated a birthday. The big 4-9. Pictures are forthcoming. Patience.
