Pho Robot Cat

 


Today, we met Bella, the robot cat the delivers pho food!  For context, it was a celebration of our friend Ansley's birthday, and she likes this place in Gainesville called "Pure Pho & Grille," which is a Vietnamese restaurant not far away.  I don't remember going to a Vietnamese restaurant, and I don't think Maddie has either, so it was a pretty new experience - neither of us have had pho either.  Although Maddie didn't get pho today - she got Korean barbecue, while I got the pho seafood.  And yes, guess who came by to deliver our food to us!


It was a nice new experience for lunch today.  About seven of us were there having a nice meal for lunch together.  Maddie enjoyed it, and I think Mom will enjoy it if we come back this way.  Note:  the servings were ginormous!




Yes, that's SpongeBob on television behind Maddie.


And yes, behind the bar, that's "The Smurfs" on television.

Emma figures out how to use chopsticks!




BOGO offer on Boba Tea?  Yes please!



Another thing we did today:  The KidPak Coffee Club!  We were joking about starting a coffee club where we try new coffees, and so today I brought in about six K-cups filled with the Bones Coffee flavor Dark Side Truffle - it's a Star Wars theme to it, made sweeter by these Star Wars themed coffee mugs I have there.  That was fun - Joey here says he'll bring some coffee in next time.

It was a quiet day otherwise - I was getting some work done at the office, but Maddie and I got home to see Mom.  We watched a bit of the Braves losing skid today, something that's pretty tough to watch.  At least in the ninth inning we scored a few runs, just falling short though.  Hopefully the team will turn things around, because this week has been one everyone wants to forget.  We're still a good ways ahead, and hopefully we'll be able to keep that lead.

I got my walking in, uphill on the treadmill while watching "The Third Man on the Mountain," and doing that virtual Mt. Everest walk.  This is a shorter walk, but it's been good.

Tonight we read, and after that we prayed.  Time for some sleep!
