At first my big, fat idea was to treat Nancy for her birthday on Sunday night. Thankfully, Justin had the presence of mind to consider that might be a bad idea given the fact that it would be St. Valentine's Day. Oops! Instead, we went tonight, which also proved to be a busy, busy choice. Personally, I love it because it means the restaurant is going to make it, returning to the past glory of what Koko's used to be, and Saigon Tokyo is becoming once again.
A funny thing happened as we entered the restaurant: a young girl called out "Miss Kim!" and grabbed me for a hug. Of course, I hugged her back and told her how nice it was to see her. She said she would tell Grams that she saw me, and she went back to her gaggle of young lady friends. As we sat at our table, it was consuming me---who was that girl???? As it turned out, this group of young ladies sat adjacent to ours so I could keep looking her over, try to connect dots, etc. to remind myself. Nothing! These giggling girls found the bus boy/waiter quite the attraction, which we, in turn, found cute. I hope they left a good tip. Trying to remember who she is and who Grams almost kept me awake all night!
After worship today, our group, sans Terri, went to eat at Chili's. We anticipated it being busy but wasn't too bad. We could use a smaller table today, not needing all that elbow room. I love this time together and appreciate the opportunity to share at least one meal with this group of folks.
