It sure has been a fun day. (After a very stressful week) Two days ago my son Joshua said he wanted to take me to lunch and let me experience Uber. He was trying to decide where we should go. At first he said Downtown Charlotte, then he mentioned Riverwalk in Rock Hill. Riverwalk is more my thing, so we went there. My husband Ron dropped us off at Tony’s Cantina Mexican Grill. Joshua had never been. It’s a cool environment but I don’t quite understand Mexican decor. For some reason they use glamorized pictures of skulls. Anyway, it was a beautiful breezy Carolina afternoon so we sat outside. The restaurant sits on a street corner overlooking the entrance to Riverwalk walking trail. I ordered the chicken lunch burrito with guacamole salad and rice and he got a taco platter that was served in a very cool vertical display. After an enjoyable lunch we decided to walk the trail that winds along the Catawba River.
We walked and talked and it was just the best afternoon spent with one of my biggest blessings. As we reached the end of the trail where you turn around we decided to call the Uber driver from that spot. He had been trying to get me to try Uber but I’ve never done it. With my hearing loss and visual impairment, I’m a bit chicken. You do need to be able to see the different models of cars. I can see cars but I haven’t the slightest clue on different car models and reading licenses plates isn’t ideal for me. I could just see me getting in the wrong car. However, Ubering with him was fun. It only took our driver about eight minutes to arrive. The driver was a really nice guy and Joshua talked with him all the way to our house.
It warms my heart that our grown son still enjoys spending time with me and wanted to treat me to a day out. He does that with his dad as well. I remember when he was just a little guy, maybe three years old, I would close the gate to our driveway and we’d race big wheels and tricycles. I’ve never been able to drive him anywhere since I can’t see well enough to drive. We always created fun where ever we were.
He has a few months left to Massage therapy school. He seems to have found his thing. He is great with people and is learning so many different massage techniques. I have gotten two deep tissue massages from him and it was amazing. Can’t wait to see where this takes him.
In the meantime, while he is with us I’m soaking up this time because I know he won’t be here forever. Dinner time is a bit tricky because he has night classes and gets home late so I end up cooking dinner twice on most nights so his food is fresh when he gets home. I don’t mind spoiling him. He is such a sweetheart and treasure. Thankful that we had this time together today making memories. Until next time~
