Today I spent the most wonderful day surrounded by two of my favorite people in the world. They treated me like a queen. The day started with brunch at Townsend. Wonderful. I would recommend Townsend to anyone. They are located on Passyunk, right where Salt and Pepper used to be. If you remember, I raved about them also. I especially love the architecture of their building, it is classic. There was champagne and beignets, as well as croissants and fruit.Each of us ordered something different so that we could share. Jason and Jess, of course, ordered oysters. I wasn’t sharing them! As my main course I settled for a morel mushroom omelette with brie.Even Jessica felt compelled to take a picture of her meal, which also looked delicious.Brunch was more than I could have asked for, but our day did not end there. Before heading out, Jason and Jessica endured a selfie in the mirror.Next stop, The Curtis Institute for a graduation recital. The first time I ever attended a recital was on a Mother’s Day, probably about 6 years ago. It has been a tradition for Jason and I to attend a recital whenever they offer one on Mother’s Day.
Today was a guitar recital and it was wonderful. The guitarist was from Seoul, Korea and she will be continuing her studies at Yale next year. Such a beautiful guitarist, we were in awe of her talent. Our day was coming to an end. As we walked back to Jason’s, I had the good fortune of trailing behind these two blessings of mine. They have grown into warm and caring adults. To see how well they get along just warms my heart. I am so glad that they have each other. Just the way it’s always been, the three of us, together.
