A   mother, daughter evening
                               Boy what a night it was last night!  As I told you on my previous posts last night was finally the night mom and I were going to see Little Women and spend some quality time together.  Mom and I left the house around 6 to get a bite to eat and to make sure we got there in plenty of time.  We were not sure where to go at first.  We wanted to go somewhere where they served something besides meat since it was Friday and since we couldn't have meat.
                              I suggested Curabba's but mom reminded me that there could be a long wait and it could take too long so we just decided to go to GRINDERS.  Neither of us were really hungry for a huge meal so we got something light.  Mom ended up getting a artichoke flat bread appetizer when I ended up getting a strawberry walnut salad with cinnamon croutons and feta and dried cranberries.  We decided to get a coffee to go.  It seemed like they took forever to make the coffee though.  
                        Mom whispered that that was one of the reasons she did not like GRINDERS.  She said the service wasn't that great and that she didn't care for the food all that much.  She said they served good salads but her flat bred wasn't that great.  But anyway we got there plenty of time for the show.  On the way I talked to her about our religion.  
                     I asked not enabling ourselves to eat meat on Fridays during lent was just a catholic thing and she she said she didn't know but she thinks it is.  I asked her why we do it if we aren't going to church.  She looked at me and asked if I missed going and I told her I did and I basically told her what I told Jess the last time we were together.  I felt like I had to drag mom to church, that I was the only one who was really dedicated into going and I didn't want to force anyone into doing that.  Mom nodded with understanding and said it just seemed like such a hassle.
                I remember Jess offering me to go to church with her the last time we were together and when she said that a million thoughts came to my head.  
               "Would that pastor like me because I come from a catholic background?"  
                 "Would I get criticized in the sermon?"  In my uncle's church all that pastor did in his sermons was talk about how wrong the catholic faith was and how they don't know anything and how the lord believes how badly Catholics are.  But anyway enough of the religion back to to the musical.  I thought it was pretty good. Mom and I both thought that the actresses that played Beth and Amy should have been reversed.  For those who are familiar with the story Amy the youngest has blonde curly hair and in the book and film, but in the musical Amy had brown  hair in the musical who wore it in braids the way that Beth was supposed to.  
                         Beth had the blonde curly hair.  But overall it was good so it was a fun mother daughter evening.  Well I better go.  
                                                                                                 Lots of love,
