Back in the saddle . . .

Back to WW II, UK
 
Yesterday's neat'o lunch at the Corner Bistro has been put on hold until our anniversary. Just as we were getting ready to head out we got a telephone call from middle child. She wished Grampa a Happy Birthday and said they were coming at about five pm to take us out for a birthday dinner at Riverview. That was just perfect. Spent the afternoon working on the 1000 piece puzzle of Paris! No, it is far from finished but I'm getting there on my own with very little help from Grampa. I think he has put in two pieces. At least middle child put in a few and Kiddo has been looking at it! Dinner was nice and Kiddo told us how the Groton Heat won their basketball game 34 - 22. He was super excited as he had stolen the ball and was on his way to score but . . . the ref blew the whistle because there was a foul behind him! So he didn't get a chance to follow through.Later he did manage to go in for a basket but missed. Needless to say he would like to play that team again.

Went to play cards with Cousine today, first time since before Christmas. It felt good to be out and about. We changed our Tuesday to Monday because of the snow expected for tomorrow.

Back to some learning that took place yesterday at Riverview. I had a Black Russian and it was the best darned drink ever. I never coughed at all while we were out.  Now I know how to make my own cough syrup. Hip! Hip! Hooray!
