Our nephew had moved to Washington D. C. to finish his teaching credential and a masters program in ESL. He was married in February and we were unable to make it, so we made a point to meet up with Allen and Carol one afternoon.
They suggested Busboys and Poets for lunch. A great choice. Why the name? The name Busboys and Poets refers to American poet Langston Hughes, who worked as a busboy at the Wardman Park Hotel in the 1920's prior to gaining recognition as a poet.
Besides lunch they hold poetry readings and their restaurant is full of art.
A diverse crowd made for a most enjoyable lunch. Unfortunately, I was so caught up in conversation with Allen and Carol, I failed to get their picture.
On the way home, I spoke to Heather and she said if we were close that Addie's favorite TV show was D.C. Cupcakes. It would thrill her if we picked her up a T-shirt. So of course we went.
We were told we would have to wait in line, maybe hours.
We only waited a few minutes. Just enough time to make our selection.
Could just buy a T-shirt. Had to have a sample to see what all the fuss was about.
Two cupcakes and
a T-shirt to go.
What we do for our grandchildren. Love you Addie.
