ROBIEWANKENOBIE

the boys took a break from their robot battles to enjoy a fancy brunch.

we broke out the cut glass rose bowl, filled it with the zinnias that mr8 planted in the garden, and added touches of purple lavender (also from the garden). then we set out our hawaiian snack plates and filled platters and saucers with chocolate covered biscuits, homemade blackberry balsamic jam, olive feta dip, and crackers topped with herbed cream cheese (basil & lemon thyme from our garden) and cucumber or tomato (from grandpa's garden). we drank ginger ale and apple out of glass cups. the boys? pushed my chair in for me. and said please and thank you. and were at their formal best. among other topics, we discussed music (chopin was the soundtrack for our luncheon). it was all very civilized.

and now they're back saving the world from an invasion of evil robots.
