Some of you probably heard on the news that Pacific Northwest had a rare major snowstorm with lot of snow last week.
Well, Nolan and I had our cabin fever, which we stayed home for 6 days due to snow and icy roads. His school had been closed for a few days since administrators did not think it was safe for students to talk on the snow and ice on sidewalks plus parking lot was not clear yet. That made sense.
We constantly kept ourselves busy and it was a good time for us to have some downtime. Most important thing is that we kept ourselves warm, dry, and safe being indoors.
Finally we were able to get out on the road on the day after Valentine’s Day. It was not necessary for us to be bitter on that day.
On that day, Nolan somehow was prompted to make some deviled eggs. He loved it! I was not aware that he likes them since he can be picky about food available.
And I made a lemon cake with lemon icing. It was so delicious! We both made our treats on that day.
On the day after Valentine’s Day, we were on our way to Federal Way. Actually I didn’t recognize that it was actually in Kent. We were seeking for a place to have lunch. We both noticed that there is Dick’s Drive-In. It is where people can place their orders and bring their bags to their cars or eat outside depends on what kind of weather is.
We were fortunate that weather was great with sunshine. We had our lunch in our car since it was warm.
Funny thing is that Nolan recalled that this drive in reminded him of a movie called “The Founder” with Michael Keaton. That movie was a great one! Very inspiring movie! Of course, he is one of my favorite actors!
In case if had not seen that movie, I strongly suggest to watch that movie!
I replied, “Yes! That is right!” It shows that he has a good memory!
After our lunch, I wanted to stop by at Lowe’s. I somehow got prompted to browse a variety of lamp shades. We found a couple of cute lamp shades… one for the lamp in our Home Office and his brand new twisted black lamp.
My late mother purchased me a small cute lamp years ago. Since Nolan is a teenager, so it was time for him to have a new black twisted lamp with a new white lamp shade. And he loves it!
Something more inspiring for both of us. And something sparks joy for both of us in our home!
