The Wonderful Weekend

Last week was exhausting, mainly thanks to my son and some other things that I am highly suspicious that my ex-husband is behind. However I "think" those things are under control but I won't know for sure until later in the week.

After pretty much zero sleep on Thursday night I was exhausted on Friday. However there was excitement vibrating inside because I was getting together with several people I went to high school with. 2 of them are married and drove up from KC. Their daughter lives in Lincoln so she drove up to Omaha as well. The other one lives in Omaha now and manages a local coffee establishment.

Debbie, Daryl, Bekka and I met for dinner shortly after 6:00 p.m. and at the beginning of our snow storm. We went out for the best Greek food in town and chatted until they politely told us to get out by dimming the lights and starting to close up. We had the best waitress ever. She was friendly and gave great service. The food and company were both wonderful.

After dinner we decided to drive to the coffee establishment to see Jamie. There was music there that night and we tried to get there to catch it. We had a hard time finding it but eventually found the location and realized that it was closed. The good news is that Jamie was still there with an employee and they were closing up for the day. We drove right up to the drive thru and we could see she was giving us the stink eye and was getting ready to tell us "We're closed." However when Daryl rolled down the window she got this shocked look on her face. What I wouldn't have given to have a camera and her picture at just that very moment. I'm chuckling now as I write this and think of that look.

Jamie waved us in and we all sat and talked until the wee hours of 1:30 a.m. or so. Maybe a little earlier but not much. Lots of laughs were had. Minds were groggy and eyes were tired. We were all going on little or no sleep from the night before so the tired giddy feeling was high in there.

We had a lot of fun talking about old times and new times as well. I can honestly say it's one of the best times I've had in a long time and so many laughs.

The next time they are in town I'm grilling and having them all over here for dinner.

Thanks for the great evening Daryl, Debbie, Jamie and Bekka.
