Three weeks ago -- My son Elliott bought a new suit. Then, he remembered his mother, his wife, and his daughter ALL have March birthdays. (I'm not sure in which order those two things happened.)
The point is -- he made reservations at the ritziest place in town -- and the four of us were off for a VERY SPECIAL EVENING OUT.
Here's how you know it was VERY SPECIAL....besides the fact that Elliott is wearing a SUIT.... I am wearing a SKIRT -- Lilly is wearing a DRESS -- and Emily is wearing HIGH HEELS.
Holy Cow. These outfits were so unusual for all four of us -- we might as well have been in a Halloween Costume Contest...and I expected our waitress might be a unicorn.

| The place, Hemisphere Bistro, is VERY UPSCALE... |
 |
| I ordered the steak...and every protein came with two side dishes. |
 |
| You also had to pick a sauce. Lilly ordered the lamb shank, with Huckleberry Jam |
 |
| The food was DELICIOUS... |
 |
| I brought along my usual assortment of restaurant games...we did the conversation cube... |
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
Who was your favorite teacher?
If you could have one wish, what would it be?
Funny...two weeks ago, our answers were very flip and we all wished for different things.
But -- if we were asked that question today -- I'm sure we'd all come up with the same answer.
Everybody I know wishes there was no such thing as the Coronavirus...

Our dinner happened on Friday, March 13th. A few days later, all the restaurants in the State of Iowa were shut down...and honestly -- we did not see that coming....
Glad that you had this experience before all this craziness began. Please thank your nurse son and his coworkers for all they are doing on behalf of all of us. May God bless.
