You both knew I'd be bleeding inside.

--Daughter, Love--

We finally found an empty table as we ordered oysters and two glasses of sparkling wine. A friend and I just finishing our fresh oysters and decided that the table was too exposed to the sun. It was too hot to sip our sparkling wine there. So I poured the rest of the wine to my reusable cup. I am pro mask, I think everybody should wear mask and other precautions during this pandemic.

I was also in a really good mood be
