ok, so mm enjoyed a lovely, unexpected evening last night.....for starts....a couple of good friends were sharing a bottle of wine at trc as i was trying to sneak away about 5:45 pm......i joined them with the intention of staying for just a bit....then another couple arrived, and we changed to a bigger table, then it got to be 6:00 when the bike shop closes, so they called my spouse on a cell phone, and he joined us for a beer.....they ate supper while we sat and chatted........and we took home carryout, with the intention of sharing with our beloved live-at-home children.........but who should be at grandma's....but our darling college-age child.........grandma had ordered a pizza...so they brought the pizza back to our house, and we had basil-crusted veal chops, trout almondine, and a large papa john's as dinner choices.........after grandma went home we watched whale rider on dvd.......such a plesant evening...........
