A few weeks back I was reading some of Jason Pelt's old posts and came across the one regarding "pop in's". I was oh to curious to pass that one up and came to find out that Clint Clifton had in turn challenged the Pelt's to a Pop In dual. I thought this whole idea was hilarious, due to the fact that I could see myself being annoyed by "pop in's". However, a few months back Josh and I had a pop in from one Annie Garman. It of course was a joy and since that time I had wondered when we might have another. Contrary to popular belief this particular pop in did not cause total distress to my "schedule" and I actually appreciated the change that it produced in my day. This past Thursday Josh and I had the excitement of our second pop in from the Slacks! It actually would not have been a pop in, if Josh would ever check his messages on his phone. However in this instance I was glad he failed to check, because it was exciting to see Amber and Gerry show up at our front door. A good time of chatting was had, however I did not follow the "pop in" etiquette because I did not offer them food or drinks. I know, I know that is awful!!!
We would like this blog to encapsulate exactly what the title refers to. The "memoirs", the memories, the observations and the life experiences that occur at Burke Manor. Why Burke Manor, you ask? Anytime someone new would come to visit our home Josh would always say, "welcome to Burke Manor". It just sort of stuck so now we have, "The Memoirs of Burke Manor".

Our very own Pop In!

Mimi's Cafe, Excellent all the way around!
This weekend Josh and I were treated to lunch by my parents at "Mimi's Cafe". When I first heard the name I was like, what! This does not sound good. The phrase, "don't knock it until you try it" was definitely true for me. Let me tell you, this restaurant is five stars all the way around. We had great service, great food and the prices were way reasonable. You seriously can go to Mimi's and get one plate and it will serve 2-3 people. For dessert we got the "triple chocolate brownie" it was excellent and it served all four of us. If you are looking for a nice place to go eat as a family, for date night, girls night out whatever the occasion this is a great choice!!

A Weekend Not To Worry
For those who know me "Jadey" well you may notate me as a worry wort. I mean who goes for an MRI and worries the magnet will somehow come loose and crush your head, Me! There is this wonderful sport known as Rugby, who many would consider violent, rough and possibly dangerous. For whatever reason my very reasonable and sensible husband decided to join the local Rappahannock Rugby Team. He has been on this team for two seasons and has yet to get a major injury, PRAISE THE LORD. However, every week there is a game I without a doubt begin to worry. I know you say, "you shouldn't worry", "worry is a sin" but it is not that easy for me. This worry often causes me to pace up and down the sidelines and jump up with concern when the "pack" falls down etc. You get the picture. Glory, Glory though this weekend Josh can not participate in the game. I am not happy that he can't participate, I realize this sport brings him great joy. However I am overjoyed that I can be rugby worry FREE, at least for this weekend.
