Some Sunday afternoons we like to visit Open Houses. We've been looking ever since we sold our house last year, hopeful that one day we'll find a place where we envision putting out the welcome mat for quite a while. The California real estate market still seems in a state of flux. Prices are dropping but not as rapidly as we would like. We're waiting patiently for the right house at the right price. Through stopping by Open Houses, we glimpse how people live their lives, discover what is essential to us (a decent sized kitchen, more than one bathroom) and determine what we can compromise on (size of the yard). Spencer's nap schedule hampers our Open House viewing a bit because he often sleeps until almost 4 pm leaving us just an hour to see properties. Today we saw a couple of places that while beautifully renovated ultimately were not for us.
All that house viewing made us hungry so we headed to Jaipur for samosas, chicken makhni and mushroom matter. As a special treat for Spencer, we ordered a mango lassi to complete the meal. He loved it but soon was bouncing off the walls, sliding off his booster seat and refusing to eat. Our days of dining out in restaurants seem to have come to an end at least for the time being. Mike took Spencer to a nearby bookstore while Nana and I stayed to finish our meal. The food was delicious and the service wonderful. Maybe next year Spencer will appreciate a fine Indian meal.
