Trevor Being Himself

 News headlines today: Salman Rushdie attacked, stabbed on stage before speech.

I told Trevor that Rushdie is an Indian Muslim author who wrote unflattering things about Muhammad, the founder of Islam, back in the 80s, resulting in death threats. I also told him, "The one thing about him you'll NEVER GUESS is who is was married to!"

Trevor, bewildered: Uh, Padma Lakshmi.

Me: :o

Truly. He had NO IDEA, just threw that out there, thinking Padma had been married several times. (She was only married once, and it was to Rushdie.) We know her as a Top Chef host, but we haven't watched that show in a few years. 

Crazy. And it is worthy of being remembered here!

 

   

Easter weekend

Robert and I drove out to Lynchburg last night for Good Friday service at Calvary Chapel Lynchburg. It was the first time we've been in the new building--and WOW! We walked two doors down to a Vietnamese restaurant for noodle bowls for dinner. It was a beautiful night, and we had a lovely drive home. Robert convinced me to stop at the grocery store close to home to get everything needed for the weekend. And THEN we stopped at Walmart to get what the grocery store didn't have.

 

I was very thankful for his insistance when I woke up today and didn't have to beat the crowds at the store.  :)

 

Trevor came down for the week. Holly came over. Holly brought him a gift of Cherry Sours; he brought her vanilla coffee syrup. That was so funny, gifting each other like this is not common! (Trevor also brought Turkish Delight candy for Robert--I am still waiting for my gift, hmm.)
 

And then Trevor pulls out a pack of his favorite ramen and says he brought it in case he gets hungry while visiting. And HOLLY pulls out the SAME pack from her things and says she brought in it case we had nothing here to eat! Hahaha.

It was definitely a funny way to begin the afternoon. They are playing a video game now, and I can bake the carrot cake for tomorrow.
