  The Brick House

  For Diana's Birthday

   

  

  We finally got together on a restaurant date with Diana for her August birthday. She chose The Brick House in Manheim.

  When we got there I was surprised to discover that my camera wasn't in the car, then remembered that I put it in the RAV4 and Cerwin decided to take the van. 

   

   

  

  My cell phone doesn't take great pictures, but at least we have a few memories from the evening.

  Diana chose an appetizer of Mozzarella Cheese Sticks that were in the shape of a patty.

  The Brick House is known for its delicious cupcakes. Diana chose chocolate with peanut butter icing.

   

   

  

  Cerwin chose carrot cake with cream cheese icing. I just tasted a small piece of each.

   

   

  

  Later I took another picture of Diana with my good camera.

  We always prepare questions for the grandchildren on their birthday suppers and they prepare some for us. She had some great thought-provoking questions for us - like what is your best memory of your dad?

  Mine was racing to the barn with him one time for the evening milking. I was ahead of him as I opened the gate - but he jumped over the fence and beat me to the barn. I have many, many others, but that is one of my favorite childhood memories.

  Cerwin: When he pleased his dad by doing a good job on a chore around the farm. He also has a lot of wonderful adult memories of time spent with his dad.

  These are a few questions that we asked her.

  What is your first memory? "Helping Dad in the workshop."

  What is your favorite subject in school? "Science or math."

  How do you want to be serving the Lord when you are forty? "Being a good role model for my children and going to church every Sunday."
