I was so busy at work, I did not go to lunch last Thursday. So, instead of visiting my favorite lunch spots, which have air conditioning, and some ice cold drinks, I went to the Sadog Tasi Mobil Station and purchased a $3.50 bento box for lunch. This would have been the first time, I ate lunch at work...well, relatively lunch at work, as I walked across to the Public Works beach and ate there with my cousin..... not bad for $3.50

CARNIVAL

We took the kiddies to the carnival on Monday night! I ordered some stuffed crabs from the Women's Bowling Association booth, it was delicious! I wish I had a photo of it!!
So the kids rode some of the rides saipan carnival had to offer! My daughter was enjoying herself as she enjoys amusement rides. My son on the other hand was sort of just standing by and soaking in the moment. My mom felt sorry for him so she made a deal, she rides if he rides!
Ofcourse neither of them were fond of the ferris wheel, but they both did it! They braved it!

My aunt and her grandsonAs for me, I hit the bingo booth, another new tradition for me! Sadly, I did not win, but better luck next time..... I am hooked....... he he he..

Tuesday Lunch..... we went to China house, so since China house. Everyone goes to China House, so there was no need to take photos of the food and then explain them. Let's see where tomorrow's lunch brings me...

Grand's buffet

SUNDAY...June 27

We woke up late and did not go to mass.... but we did go and visit my dad at the cemetary. After that, we hung around Grand Hotel's lobby for about an hour, waiting for the AOI Sunday Brunch to open. (I thought the brunch opened at 1000, after all it is called BRUNCH!, but it opened at 1100). The kids waited patiently, but were getting a bit agitated of the hour wait!

SHRIMP that is worth the wait...

The only thing I like at Grand's Sunday Brunch at the AOI restaurant is the japanese baby shrimp! It is sweet and delicious as sashimi..... yumm!

FARM TIME...

I think by now my regular readers will figure out my Sunday schedule, church, breakfast or brunch then farm!

Rice Crackers/sembe on steroids! The larger kakidane are from a spicier mix of rice crackers!
