Mediterranean Dining

Yesterday I drove to the area where I grew up to have lunch with some of the gals I went to high school with.  They choose a different restaurant each month and this month was Olga's Kitchen [a Mediterranean chain restaurant].  I like Shawarma Chicken so ordered that in a pita wrap with curly fries. Yum!  It was enjoyable visiting with them and getting caught up on their news and other classmates.  We are at the age where deaths among classmates is more frequent.  So grateful for the blessing of health.

When I left there I made my hour-long journey back home and stopped at the bakery to pick up a birthday cake for my hubby.  His odometer officially rolled over to #78 today and our grandson turned 16.

We met our daughter and son-in-law at another Mediterranean restaurant [Ike's] at 5:30 for Lebanese food.  They serve the best warm rolls with hummus. I ate the lemon lentil soup and Greek salad that came with my entree but brought a take-out container home with the rest of the meal and had it for lunch today.   I did, however, save room for cake!  ;-)

He declared it was a good birthday with much to be thankful for and now he begins a new year.  We were sorry we couldn't celebrate with Landon but we will see him at Thanksgiving.
