Dinner With My Family

Last night I had dinner with my family. I am fortunate enough to be able to do this on a weekly basis, sometimes more often. Last night was a real treat. My dad is probably one of the best cooks in the whole world. He specializes in homemade lemonade, a treat I get on my birthday each year. He also specializes in steaks, chicken and breakfast. Last night he made steaks, baked potatoes (the best one I've ever had) and corn on the cob. It was truly one of the best meals I've eaten in a long time.

After dinner, my mom, Julie and I played Monopoly. My mom quickly beat the both of us into submission!! She pretty much had one half of the board with hotels on everything and neither Julie nor myself had the funds for rent over $1,000. I held onto my two favorites, Mediterranean and Baltic Avenues but I had to give them over to my mom in the end. I'm not sure why those two are my favorites. They are the cheapest on the board but I love them! Maybe it is their names. Rent is only $90.00 with three houses so it's not like you can actually make any money off them.

In general, last night was really fun. I love spending time with my family and I love being at home. I really believe that one never tires of visiting their childhood home, no matter how often. It is truly one place where you always feel loved and comfortable. I'm thankful that I get to spend so much time with my family. They mean the world to me!
