Mark and Connie were in town so Heather, my father and I went out to dinner with them. Always nice to see them and great that we were able to spend some time with them in a small group. As the nature of a large, distributed family often dictates, there are usually large groups around when we see Mark and Connie. Always interesting to spend time with them one-on-one... or three-on-two as the case was tonight.
The food was good and the environment very comfortable. Great interior design and dim lighting. A large selection of foods. I think everybody enjoyed their plate. We had a big round booth. Heather ate too much and got jumpy. When she eats a bunch her stomach and Ava compete for space. I think Ava wins and sticks her foot into Heather's rib cage. Uncomfortable for Heather and she gets squirmy.
It's Heather's birthday weekend so my father had a gift out in the parking lot. A great piece of furniture. We put it into the minivan.
Mark enjoyed checking out the recent damage on the minivan. Heh. Honestly I hadn't looked at it too closely yet. The front left quarter panel is bent up too.
Good luck and happy travels Mark and Connie. The next time we see you we'll have Ava with us.
