If you're searching for a family-friendly dining destination, look no further than Lazy Dog Restaurant, where delicious meals and a cozy ambiance await your next gathering.

Just when you're on your last day spending with your family there is an invite to have dinner. My family wanted us to have a meal at an American restaurant. It was my first time to dine and have a meal at  Lazy Dog Restaurant  in Concord, California. My brother in-law had made a reservation at six o'clock party of seven. We had received complimentary barbeque chips and a dip while waiting for the remaining family to arrive. For our appetizer was the Bacon Candy. Reading the menu to decided what to order came across $15.00 Fireside Favorites that includes with a main course meal and dessert from smores brownie or banana pudding.  Fettuccine Alfredo  Blackened Shrimp Tacos Dessert  Family members just ordered what they wanted with the Campfire Pot Roast, Chicken Lettuce Wrap and Fish. Everyone had enjoyed their meals and shared with each other. I am grateful my family gave us the opportunity to try new restaurants. NOT SPONSORED. Check out my channel @ Carmina Lif...

Ways to Contact Family and Friends Long Distance


Running out of things to say to your friend as you chat with her everyday and notice what she tells you are something you’ve heard before. You don’t want to be rude to tell her you have heard the story before from her.

Does this ever happen to you?

What happens when you start to lose interest in talking to someone?

For some reason I end up turning away from my phone and move on to things going on in my real life back to my daily routine as we do other things than staying online and wait till someone response on the other end of the world.

Once she replies and tells me something new that is when I am there to respond to what something new she has to tell me.

Sometimes people leave their Facebook messenger on even not knowing they are still online or they don’t bother telling the person they have been away. Not like when I use to use Yahoo Messenger it automatic inform you that the person is away. It gives you notice ahead of time.

Probably I am not the only who have used Yahoo Messenger and ICQ for chatting with your friends and meeting new people online when Facebook was not discovered yet.

I have a friend who taught me how to use ICQ before I had left the Philippines when I was single. She said, she uses this to meet people around the world. This is where I had always chatted with my friend living in the Philippines.

As her life changed we became distance from each other as she no longer became my friend due to the changes she made in her life.

I remember when I was living in California and someone I met online was from the Philippines he said, I reminded him as his younger sister he never had. We called, each other siblings even if we never met each other.

Sometimes when you meet someone older or younger they tend to call you Ate (Sister) or Tita (Aunt) just to show respect to them.

Once you start chatting online you become addict to it because you seem to be able to hear and explore other things people are going through and through what you hear you acknowledge the difference of their life compared to yours.

I have in-law’s who uses Viber and I don’t like that application for some reason because it adds double contact on your phone.

My sister uses Skype I don’t use that either because there is a charge on my end it is not free for me.

The application that some people use is Magic Jack that you can connect to using your computer and connect a phone. It is not free you need to pay for membership. This is what my mother in-law uses to contact her sister in California.

My mom uses PLDT phone card to call up her family back home. It is a prepaid International card.

There are so many ways to connect with someone who lives faraway from you.
