No problems. We even took the boys with us to a friend's home for dinner. I had to drag Tom away at the end of the night or he would have kept talking through the wee hours. It was delightful to be out.
My sister came to visit and Trevor and I went out to dinner with her. You should have seen Trevor in dress shoes, a black silk shirt and his leather jacket. He was a handsome escort for his mother. It was a popular downtown restaurant so we opted not to take Riley. The crowds would have been a problem. Margaret had reservations, which was a good thing. The place was standing room only, shortly after we arrived. Our reservations were for 5:45. The food was divine. Trevor had the sea bass special and ate every bite. I had the insalata caprese to start (tomatoe and fresh mozzerella), then the scampi. The sauces were delicious. Piazzo Italiano on 11th and Johnson Street, in the Pearl. Do not pass up the desserts either.
There was an accordion player to entertain us. He plays Sunday nights, which is why Margaret had us go there. Hew is musically talented himself. He knew all the history and music Michael the accordianist was playing. They traded quips about "Frank", and the old days in New York and Vegas. Of course New York New York was played just for Jen and Cole. Cole was entertained quite well through out the meal. He even tossed coins into the fountain, a guarantee we will be back.
Riley and Tom stayed home. Someone needs to be handy just case Riley needs someone.
I am going to go buy Pine today and make a home made book shelf unit for the game room. Floor to ceiling and just get it done. The room is horrible with all the toys in it and no where to put them. I know it will turn out well when I am done. I built another unit when one of the melamine's collapsed and I had no bookshelves for books. Pine is a soft wood, so I wont make the spans too long to compensate. I also wont paint them right now. I just want to get it up.
And the room cleaned. I have a friend coming from Seattle to visit. She will be staying in it if I have it cleaned. Otherwise, she can stay in the front room. It is nice to have options. But I do need to get that game room done. Oak is way too expensive.

Hey Steph, glad to see you are staying positive and not dwelling. A feat within itself. Jessica saw a health wand advertised at Costco and suggested I tell you. It's a light wand that sterilizes the surface you wave it over. I don't know how it works, but it is inexpensive. I think Jess said 30 bucks or something. I would like to come see you again in a few weeks. Jess wants to come too. I will call and see if you have the wand by then. If not, we can get one for you. Stay positive and don't dwell. We are thinking of you and hoping for the best.
