It's FRIDAY!!!!

Robb and I had a very nice anniversary evening!  

We drove to Des Moines.

After dropping of a package for someone, we ordered online to Montana Mikes restaurant that I had won a $20 gift certificate for!  The meal would have cost us only $2.28 over that, but the online app didn't let me enter any gift certs... So I just paid for it with my credit card.

I guess that will ensure that we come back to visit them when their dining room is open, so we can use it.

You know... NEXT year.

We didn't open the food until we were out of town at a rest area with a view.  That's when we noticed that there were NO condiments for Robb's tenderloin or fries.  shoot.  It hadn't said anything like that on the app or I would have ordered some.

I'm glad I thought to ask if they had included a fork for my salad while I was there!

They hadn't done that either until I mentioned it.

My strawberry salad with chicken was delish though...  

and when I got home, I FINALLY found the nutritional facts for Montana Mike's food.

WHOOPS!  The caloric intake for the salad was greater than all the calories I should have eaten for the entire day.

Oh well.  WALK it off!  and drink lots of water.

After weighing myself this morning, it didn't really do too much damage.  

Not as much as that six pack and a pound that Robb and I shared from Wednesdays Taco John's hit...

walk it off

walk it off

Yesterday was frighteningly busy at work.  I had been hoping to call Sonya and work out some details on her site, but after being in a one hour meeting, quickly followed by a 5 hour call, then a 15 minute Zoom meeting with Robb, Meri, Maddy and Matthew, then back to the 5 hour call people...  I forgot.

It was all I could do to run use the rest room...

Sorry Sonya!  Will try you today.

I did have a chance to stop over and see Ada before dinner though.  She's sick of this covid thing.  As are everyone, but have you tried being cooped up in a nursing home with no visitors inside for going on more than three months now?  cripes.  That poor woman.  

But it started raining and Leon was literally running all around the outside of the home in it while he waited for me to finish my visit.  I figured I better get him home before we catch pneumonia...  or worse.

OH!  Also yesterday, while I was in one of my quick potty breaks and finally relaxing... the doorbell rings.  of course... that's when the house phone rings too...  Leon ran to it and found a mysterious note laying in front of the door.  

Whomever had left it had already bolted and we could see two boys, Leon's age, racing up the street on their bikes.

So we scrounged up some change and Leon ran around the house to see if anyone else wanted strawberry crush.  He found one taker and off we went.  

Kids were milling around a few tables a couple blocks away and we got to buy our strawberry crush, which ended up being strawberry kool-ade.  

Even though we kept our distance, it was nice to pretend to be normal again!

On the way back, Leon was already planning what his lemonade stand will look like this year.  

He'll have a menu.

AND he promised he won't freak if he has to give back 50 cents if someone gives him a dollar.

Like he did the LAST time.

He's learning the concept of money...

Back to the ol grind.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
