He was able to slip away last night to stop by some friend's house for beers. It was good to have the gang together again. There was a new addition and Steve's wife, Greta, was missing. But a good time was had by all. We tried some of John's beer. Yum! He's a home brewer. He even opened a bottle of wine for me. Wasn't that sweet? A nice red! We were even able to see Theo before he went to bed.
Guinness, the large black cat, of course came down to share the love with everyone. Of course he's not as big as he used to be, but he does love to sit on everyone's lap. And even Asland, their other cat, came down to get pets near the end of the evening.
So today we were able to meet up for lunch at Portabella's. It's a restaurant in town that Jim and I had never been to. Ruth and John suggested it. They have some of the best ideas for places to go. Not to mention some of the best stories! It was very good. The sandwich was huge! In fact I took half of mine home. So we got to have a long lunch with our buddy, Steve, before he had to head back to his ship.
His ship will be leaving Friday, but I'm not sure that we'll get to see him again while he's here. We have a mandatory fun thing tonight and he has something he has to attend tomorrow. But I'm glad we got the time we did.
