A Great Date...

My visiting teaching appointment canceled for Friday afternoon. How to rearrange the schedule? Got it!!

I took Papa to his doctor appointment Friday morning. The man got a great report. Don't get me wrong, there is tons wrong with him, but all the things are under control and he is doing well. His blood pressure was 110 / something great. That is better than mine! His blood density was a bit thick but that seems to vacillate all over the place, so we leave him at the dosage he is at and come back in a month to get it tested again and we see Dr. Weckman in 3 months for a regular check. Great!

Back to Sadieville I hurry to spend an afternoon with the hubster only to find him knee deep in stuff at his desk. We plot the rest of our day. We both work at our desks for the afternoon with BIS (Butt In Seat) at 3pm. We actually met in the living room ready to go at about 10 to 3. Think we were both anxious to have a date time together. 

We first went to City Hall. Claude had papers to drop off. I watered the new plants in the little garden spot I am working on. Time to leave Sadieville.

On to Georgetown to the theater to see Sully. This was an excellent movie. Intense. This is the real story of Captain Sully who landed the plane full of 155 people on the river in New York after the plane was hit by a flock of birds and both engines died and everyone survived. (That last one was a great sentence!! Makes me chuckle. Would drive my son, the English major, nuts!) So it is a gripping movie but very well done.

There is a fairly new restaurant in Georgetown. We opted to try it out for dinner. It too was a keeper. An Italian restaurant named Formaggio Italiano. The server gave us our menu and I knew as soon as I opened it what I would eat that evening. They had an all cheese calzone. Many places have calzones but they usually have cheese and meat. I just wanted the cheese kind and this place had it. So I ordered that and a side salad. They give you bread and it was yummy. I actually could go there and eat the bread and salad and be very happy. We will go back for pizza. Excellent dining experience. 

Now, time to do a little hands on research. Time to replace the dishwasher...and possible the washing machine. The washing machine has been known to come on by itself. We wanted to see and learn and ask questions, then think about what to do. We visited Lowe's. They gave us plenty of time check the dishwashers out before asking us if we wanted help. By that time we had done some narrowing down and had a few questions we needed answers to. We narrowed it down to 4 possibilities (no big handle on the front and the buttons to operated on the front not the top edge, stainless steel, gray trays inside). Then we looked at washers and dryers and narrowed that down to 3 possibilities (largest size so I could wash and dry a bedspread, quieter if possible). Did not purchase a thing but will measure our dishwasher and give it thought before doing anything. Felt good to have some knowledge and some items we both agreed on.

Then we came home full and happy. What a great afternoon and evening together.
