Eating out still works for us.

Last night we ate at Bonefish Grill, a place we have frequented more often recently. During our meal, I didn’t see anyone that we knew which is a little unusual. As we got up to leave, we passed by a couple whom we have known through the Knoxville Symphony. We chatted with them a little bit. Then I noticed a hand waving to me from another table. It turned out to be a former neighbor and her husband. We hadn’t seen them in a while. We must have had a ten-minute conversation. After that we saw a fellow Rotarian and his wife whom we also see at some of the music nights at Casa Bella.

We left having had a good meal and another social occasion. It didn’t require anything special on Kate’s part or mine, but it was the kind of thing that provides a little boost in the day. I am glad to say that we have many of these at meal times. While there are a lot of good things to be said about eating in one’s own home, in terms of our personal needs, eating out is just what the doctor ordered.
