Visiting the hot spots

This morning Lynn contacted Mom and I after her class at the Wellness Center to see if we were interested in some lunch. Of course, I was all about it. There is a new bbq place in town they were waiting to try when I got here but when we pulled up, we found they were not opened on Monday. Back into the car we went to find some place else to dine. We chose the new Noodles & Company restaurant which was quite good. Mom and I had the steak stroganoff with wide noodles and Lynn had a Caesar salad and a wrap sandwich. Mom and I combined our unfinished food into a to-go box so that I could enjoy my giant Rice Krispie treat.  Lynn was ahead  of us at the register and told the lady, "Wait until my sister sees these!" and sure enough I had to grab one.

After our lunch we went shopping at Younkers because I so wanted to see if I could find another cotton cardigan like my orange one. I regret often not taking more colors when I got this one, it is so versatile. I did find a black one at Ross a few weeks ago for less than $10 which is a third of what the orange one cost. I so prefer a color rather than black but hey, I'll take it. None was to be found but Mom and Lynn each found a purse they liked, getting additional discounts on top of the sale price once at the register. Nice!

From there we went to the ice cream parlor to have a treat, my 2nd visit since arriving. The first time I was there on, Saturday, I saw a Facebook friend whom I knew when I was a young teenager, shared him with my friends, the Zahns. This would have been back in the last 1960's/early 70's. Facebook is so fun this way, and he recognized me immediately. He did better than I did as it took me a millisecond to figure out who he was. 

Lori arrived, horror of horrors, during Jeopardy!, so had to wait until it wrapped up to be greeted by her mama. Priorities! I knew that was going to happen. We went to the Charcoal Grille for dinner, Lori's place of choice. She was able to tell us about the goofy person in her office, speeding her way towards retirement which is in August. It was funny but sad to hear about her work situation which was formerly enjoyable. What a great meal we had and good fun. Lori is bunked down in Mom's room as she needs cool and stays up late. Mom sleeps her best in the living room anyway. Lori can't sleep in with me because I have it warm and have my "Seinfeld" playing all night long as I sleep. Nope! Mom gets up early and has coffee while she listens to the radio so also nope for Lori in the living room. This works for us! Good night all!
