Just right . . .

Finally caught the little twit!  Still not as clear as I'd like but I'll be on the prowl.

It is a fine day before my seventy first birthday and we decided to go to lunch at Happy Jack's, a pub and grill in Plainfield right across the parking lot from McD's. An excellent Margarita, a metal bottle of Bud, Chicken Genovese, Fish & Chips and we had the perfect lunch. The décor is modern because the previous restaurant burned to the ground a few years back and the new part of the building has risen Phoenix like into at least two iterations. This latest iteration is fine. We enjoyed our company (us) and our young waitress; came home to Gram's Cheesecake and coffee for dessert. Couldn't ask for anything more. Didn't expect such a pleasant day, actually had no expectations and it was just right. I guess 2014 will be another good year of peaceful surrender to the vicissitudes of life in our seventies. Perhaps if youngest visits us in March and oldest can join us the whole family will be able to enjoy lunch at Happy Jack's Pub! Not a plan; just a thought. And if their loves can be with us too it could be perfect along with middle child et al. In any case it's a nice thought.

Have been eyeing Grampa's one pound package of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ( 2 half pound cups!) which the students in the model airplane class gave him along with a myriad of little Reeses! Still haven't gotten to open the package and take a photo of two 1/2 pound Peanut Butter Cups. P&D's Pop will probably wait until I am off somewhere before he opens the darned thing. All I want is a photo op, a deep lung filling whiff and one huge bite! That may be asking too much though.

No Kiddo to bring home today because Mom and Dad didn't work last night. He'll be coming home to Moosup New Year's Eve instead. Debating whether I shall ask for a concert! I may just let everything slide and give in to his every whim!
