Girl Time
The celebration continued with a girls' lunch at the Mission Inn in Riverside. It was just on the edge of being too cold, but with two heaters by our table Vickie and I were able to enjoy the outdoor seating at the Mexican restaurant.
We treated ourselves to margaritas which came in huge glasses. Seems they were out of regular glasses so we got double our money's worth. Oh boy! Did we get relaxed. Then we had guacamole prepared tableside. I don't know why it always tastes better that way. We split a platter of fish tacos that were very delicious and topped it off with flan and coffee.
Of course the food really took second place to lively, probing, relaxing conversation. Like most "girl talk" conversations ours took a zig zag path. "Oh that reminds me of..." "Did you ever....?" "Now what was I saying?"
I met Vickie when I was a career counselor and she came in to talk. After probably 10 years, she is now the life coach counselor and I'm the "client". Thank you to this dear friend who helped me through some rocky times this last year. Love you, Vickie.
Oh,and while I was gone Jim put together our new Steam Vac and shampooed the carpet. I was greeted by a fresh smelling home and a pooped out hubby. We really got this carpet cleaner to suck up the rain water leak. Today is the test. 1/2 inch rain expected. Did we get the leak fixed? Tune in later.
