As Memorial Day Weekend gets closer and I get ready to head out west to Colorado, I am going to have to start to saying my goodbyes, not quite ready for that, but you have to start somewhere, right?

So, my wonderful friend, CKM is organizing a goodbye dinner, I hope you got an invite, I would love to see you there! Well, some of my friends can’t make it that night, so I working on making plans to see them before I leave. Not to worry, I will be back a few times, hey, I’m doing the Peachtree Road Race with CKM July 4th!

So, tonight, I had dinner with TS and SF, at a place that we love, The Loving Hut, http://www.lovinghut.us/ a vegan restaurant and most of my friends aren’t vegan or that into eating it, some have tried, just didn’t stick. Well, TS and SF and I love it, so meet for dinner we did! It was great, as always, the food that is, the service leaves A LOT to be desired! We had basil rolls, cha cha shrimp, it wasn’t as good as I’ve had it before, wonton soup (the only place I can get wonton soup!) and an eggplant dish. Yummy! We didn’t have dessert , they were out of coconut pie, we debated on dessert and the decision was made easy when they were out.

It figures they don’t have a location in Colorado, one hippy dippy state, but I’m sure I’ll be able to find a lot of vegetarian and vegan options, not worried.

Dinner was light and fun we caught up on each others lives, we laughed, we told stories, we bragged on our families, they let me dominate a lot of the conversation, imagine that, me with a lot to say! (I hope you didn’t doze off during my post about Annie!) I brought them up to speed on the packing, the staging, the moving, talking to the realtor, what my plans are, what the backup plans are, all the good stuff.

TS did look at me like I had three heads when I told them I bought the Disney Villains Monopoly! TS is the one who had to pack my collection, she didn’t really see an end in sight and then found a few more downstairs, I have a feeling that if she never sees another one it will be ok!
It was the Disney Villains people! And it was on sale, yes that helps!

It was nice when we parted company, there were no tears, it was as if we were just to dinner on a Thursday, “bye, see you later, love you” and we were gone. These are two women who like to travel, I believe I’ll be seeing them in my future!

I know, you’re salivating, where is the ice cream? Since we didn’t have dessert, I was craving something sweet. You may or may not know, but I am lactose intolerant, among other things. Beyers came out with a lactic free line of ice creams and while it is still touch and go for me, I bought some and tonight, as I sit here writing to you about my wonderful dinner with my fabulous friends, I had a bowl of ice cream with multicolored sugar crystals, yum.

So, the reason I mention friends and ice cream is because I had a wonderful experience at dinner and it was topped off by a bowl of ice cream, which makes me think of my friends because they are so sweet to and with me. And I wanted to tell you about both!

Thank to TS and SF for being my wonderful friends, I am so lucky to have you in my life to enrich it and make it more colorful. I love you very much.
