Song: Give Me Love

The other day...
I took my mother out to a late lunch at a restaurant
I had read good reviews about...but to which I had never been.
My mother and I agreed on trying some new places to eat
as part of the adventure of life.
This place is called 'The Depot'.
It is in downtown Reno and it is a converted old train station.
I had to try two of their foods:
The 'Pork Belly Tacos'...
and 'The Depot Burger'.
Although it looked as if it would be too messy to eat...
just by scooping the sauce and the vegetables inside the tacos...
they were quite a neat treat.
They were delicious.
'The Depot Burger' seemed as if it would be too big to eat.
My mother and I shared the burger.
She still has a voracious appetite.
It had a moist burger patty...
the most moist and tender burger patty I had ever eaten...
topped with delicious pastrami, sauerkraut, and creamy Russian dressing.
The whole meal was very good.
The ketchup for the fries was made there...
and it had a very fresh and delicious taste.
It was a very pleasant lunch.
Some of the neighborhood before going up to the hilltop where my mother lives.
I wanted to show the spring blossoms.
After relaxing for a bit...
I took my mother on a hillside walk with her dog...Hana.
The hillside trails are just a few houses away from my mother's house.
I will take her on walks here in good weather.
The top of the near hill is where we will end up going in a few more walks.
I will build my mother up to longer walks once again.
I fooled my mother by saying that we would be walking to the top...
and this is the look she had given me :)
She was happy when I told her I was joking.
We just walked up a little farther...
and then turned around.
My mother checking if the flowers had a scent...
they didn't.
We then walked back to her house.
We arrived at her house...
and then had a cup of coffee in her backyard.
We then watched a movie and just relaxed.
Just before going home...
I took my mother to the night city lookout in her neighborhood.
My mother loves looking at the city lights.
All of Reno may be seen from here.
The road I drive down her hill also has beautiful views of the city along its route.
-----------------
Exercise is important for the body.
Beautiful views and delicious food are good for the soul.
Again...
life is only too short if you don't create magical memories
and enjoy the simple pleasures of life along the way.
Being adventurous...
getting out and enjoying life...
is the only way to do this.
