poltr1This weekend was another trip to Buffalo NY to check on mom and visit friends, and to feast of the foods I can only get in Buffalo.
Mom's still doing OK. The weather was mostly chilly and overcast all weekend. I'm glad I had the foresight to pack a light sweatshirt and jeans.
Fri 6/10: I was hoping to leave early (oh-dark-hundred early). But I was up until 2 AM the previous evening doing some PC work. So I didn't end up leaving until 10:30am. Roads were good, the weather was dry and clear. Stopped at the Tucky's in Mayfield Heights for lunch: a Chicago dog, a Cleveland dog, and a bottle of Boylan's diet root beer. Arrived in Tonawanda around 7:00pm.
Sat 6/11: Took mom to Headmasters East in Cheektowaga, so my mom could get a permament. This shop is owned by my cosuins, Rose and Joseph. Spent time visiting with them while Mom was in the chair having her hair done. Had lunch at Mighty Taco and drove along the East Niaga River shore. Had dinner at Jack's with longtime friends Liz and Louis, followed by coffee at Coffee Culture.
Sun 6/12: Had dinner with my aunt Angie. One of her sons had previously brought over a black kitten, who was very playful. I showed my aunt Angie how to discipline the kitten with a spray bottle filled with water. I then had coffee and conversation with my friend Sal at a Denny's in north Buffalo.
Mon 6/13: Took my dad's car to a local repair shop for the annual safety inspection, an oil change, and a tire rotation. Then paid one of my mom's medical bills. Since I was out that way, I had lunch at Charlie the Butcher's in Cheektowaga. (I think it's the best place in town for beef on weck.) Took the scenic route back home -- I-190 to the Skyway to route 5, which parallels the eastern shore of Lake Erie. Had dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dagonell and cigfran_cg at Zebro's in Barcelona Harbor, just south of Westfield. (dagonell wrote a review opf the restaurant here.) Stayed overnight at the Microtel in Erie, PA.
Tue 6/14: Left Erie around 10:15am. Lunch was a Burger King in Medina. Arrived home in Dayton around 4:45pm.
