03/25/08 - Last night Linda, I and six friends went out to Red Lobster for dinner. It's not one of my favorite places to eat but sharing a meal with good friends made it even better than I had hoped. Dinner ended with a little story from Mary Ann about a dinner adventure they had when she, Don, Reynoud and Gratia went to San Antonio to see the sites and lights of the city during last years Christmas season. Before Mary Ann got started Don, her husband, noted that she had never let the truth get in the way of a good story. I have to admit after that story I have to agree with him.
It all started when they decided to go out to dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant. Since it was close by where they were staying, they decided to walk. Reynoud had been there previously so he led the way. According to Mary Ann they walked at least 50 miles through the alleys and under the expressway all the while being followed by a bunch of menacing cats! Apparently when they had come to a Y in the road Reynoud chose the scenic route, when if he had taken the other route it would have been less than a mile to the restaurant. When she was done with the story my stomach muscle's hurt from laughing!
On a sad note Don, Mary Ann, Reynoud and Gratia pulled out this morning headed towards home. There were lots of hugs and well wishes. The really sad part is that of the four couples from last night's dinner Linda and I are the only ones that will be returning to Bentsen Palm Village next season. Two of the couples will be returning to the Valley but will be staying at a park in Alamo Texas. Lou and Sandy are not planning to return to the Valley next season. So the good-byes were especially emotional for all of us.
On a side note, the little gray cat has taken over Bud's water dish. This fact makes it extremely hard for the boy to pay attention to the job at hand when he is taken out to go potty. Bud has to be on alert to make sure that sinister cat doesn't sneak up and attack us.
