Nora's Favorite Restaurant

Sunday was the day that we held Nora's postponed birthday party which had evolved from a "Survivor" party at our house to lunch at her favorite Clinton restaurant, Nick's a.k.a. Towne Restaurant, followed by an afternoon at Art in the Open at the Hunterdon Art Museum. Three of the four girls enjoyed Nora's favorite meal at her favorite restaurant, grilled cheese with french fries and a chocolate milk. At Nick's no one asks what kind of bread? or what kind of cheese? because who would want anything other than American on white bread? Zoe opted for a cheeseburger. At a nearby table, Sylvain had a Nicoise salad (I tried to dissuade him) and I had the always reliable Greek salad.

Then it was into the downpour to the children's art festival. They began in the very wet moon bounce with an impromptu game of Marco Polo before they were evacuated and the whole thing was deflated in a rush of water. Face painting ensued. Nora's skull and cross bones tattoo was only briefly very cool but thanks to my skill running with an umbrella, Kyra's elaborate face remained intact for the day. Balloon "art" was a big hit....
