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...

Always a Cinderella in My Life

I remember when I was in college and going out with my friends I always wore a navy blue trench coat because my mom was very strict with me. As I walked out the front door my mom always inspect the clothes I wore and she always told me to change my clothes if my skirt was too short or my blouse was too revealing. What my mom didn't know I had extra set of outfits in my car because I knew my mom was very old fashioned and wanted me to be covered from head to toe. I would changed my clothes at my friend's home and have the clothes I came out in my car when I need to change back into them when I had entered home this way I don't get caught from my mom. You are young you need to find ways and means to look better when you're out with your friends and you know we compete to see who dresses better and how we look by appearance. I remember at the Celebrities night club if my friend and I didn't like a certain guy who asked us for our name we ...

Changes After Staying at Home

Funny Story: Sometimes when someone looks at your picture and they notice something different the way you look that your appearance is different from the time they last saw you and when you stay home in your house for so many months they see something right away that you may not see. What they see is your hair is longer because you have no source in having it cut and your friends realize that the hair style looks good on you. Your friend tells you not to have it cut when it is time to come out and explore. What my mom notice is that I have some make up on my face so my mom had questioned my new profile picture. My Mom : Wow! Nice make up! Guess you enjoy staying home! Me : Yes I am so bored staying at home nothing else to do. My Mom : I don’t want to put make up on because no one sees me here. Me : I prefer to put make up on because I have video calls from my friends I don’t want to look like I didn’t take a bath. My Mom : I don’t blo...

Social Distance

Life is boring so we find other things to do if we can’t go out why not call your friend up and have a video call and drink together but in our own homes. We may want to spend time with our friends but since we’re not allowed to we find other ways to spend time with our friends. Yann wanted me to drink and she was the only girl in the house she was at and she asked, me do you have an alcohol to drink with me. I said, yes I do so we started toasting each other by taking our pictures during our conversation. I was in charge of taking our picture during our call. Toward the end I couldn’t finish my bottle I was already red I am not a drinker so I always cannot finish one bottle. Yann told me she will attend a barbecue and she said, I am inviting you to come along I said, sure so another video call will take place during that time. No matter if you cannot be with your friends there are always a video call away so if you are feeling lonely and want to go o...

Jail from Home

I can’t seem to wait until I get released from my jail home that makes us eat the same food every day and we wake up in odd hours as we have a guard outside to check out if we are in our room. We wake up awkward hours not like we have anything to do. Our hair has sprouts and we want to have it cut but all we do is keep having it keep growing. We look at our pictures of the outside world and keep crossing out the days until we can go out and be paroled soon we’ll be released. We have a list of places and places to eat when the time comes and we are released from our jail home. There will no longer be a violation under our name because our name is already cleared. One day the key is there to see the world how we miss so much for the two months in jail home we are home sick but not from our home but from the life outside.

Friendships Begins to Change

As we are staying home we come across friends who you haven’t chat or communicated for a long time and when they start chatting with you they come across giving you not your name but a name they are suppose to give their boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse not really meant for a friend. I have come across this recently and I have seen people get really lonely when they stay home and they are bored to death but they have spouses in their home but when you come across a friend calling you baby. I start to question them who are you referring to baby you know for sure that is not your name. As I am talking to my friends I will stop them question them hey I am not your baby and I don’t like being called a baby in the first place. I have a name and I’d rather stick to it. Sometimes you need to put a stop on your friendship it might lead to something else that you don’t see yourself in that direction. I’ve notice these past weeks how my friends are reacting how they start to cli...
