My wonderful husband took me out to dinner a couple of nights ago. We went to a local restaurant called The Oasis. Every time Mike drives by the restaurant, the parking lot is packed. We arrived around 7:30 to a nearly empty interior. It was snowing outside, so maybe everyone stayed home. I've noticed that people in our neighborhood go to bed early. By 10:00 p.m. all the houses are dark....except ours.
Mike ordered the daily special and I ordered shrimp. My meal was wonderful. Perfectly cooked shrimp, tender-crisp broccoli. YUM. Mike was a little disappointed. He hadn't read the description of what he was ordering and expected something different. His entree was called "Moo and Oink". It was chopped sirloin, topped with broccoli, some sort of cheesy gravy, and bacon bits. All served on top of hash brown potatoes. Not my type of meal at all.
I really enjoyed the time that we shared. We hadn't had uninterrupted conversation in a long time. This Sunday is our anniversary. Mike has planned for us to locate the "best pizza place in the area" which is on a side road near a lake access. We plan to bring pizza home for the whole family and then the two of us will go out for a movie or something. Two dates in one week. I could get used to this.
