Father's Day & Anne's Birthday all at once

My daughter drove down from Portland yesterday to celebrate both occasions. She brought the Chihuahua along to visit her dog father, of course.
We went out to dinner last night at what used to be a really good Indian restaurant. They had to relocate a while back and now the food and service is not as good as it was in the old place.
So, today being the day it is, we went to breakfast at a good Shari's not far from the house and had a great meal. My daughter treated too. W barely beat the crowd, only had to wait a few minutes. By the time we left, around 10 AM, there were 20 people waiting.
Now, at noon, it is over 80 degrees F (26C) and headed up, so we will spend the afternoon being cool. My daughter will drive home a bit later.

It sounds like a good morning all around and lucky that you beat the worse of the breakfast crowd.
Hope the rest of your day goes just as well.

@JamesHxstatic The chihuahua father got to see and play with his chihuahua child?
I grew up with chihuahuas as pets.

@ScribbledAdNauseum No, I refer to myself as Dog Father (like Grandfather). I never thought I would like those yappy little dogs, but she is great.

@JamesHxstatic Great. Nothing beats father and daughter time. Your daughter is a father's girl like me to my dad?

She left almost two hours ago, but called me to say traffic was at a standstill about 40 miles up I-5. I checked and there was a wreck ahead of her up there. They got moving again finally. It is about 90 here today, so sitting still was no fun for her and the Chihuahua.
It is normally a two hour drive from here to Portland.

@DianneN Yes, it comes around every seventh year, like Anne's. I guess Leap years change that.

Which Indian place was it? Shari's is pretty good. But prefer Elmers.

It was Evergreen, fomerly across from the U of O and quite good, but the changes have not been good. There is a new one called Royal India that is great.

Yes, It is always good to see her. I have been to Portland several times this year doing small film parts, so I am seeing her often.
