He said something about a pastrami on rye being doctor's orders. Umm hmmm! Stained glass, misters and chandeliers.

And a lovely fountain adding the gentle, soothing sound of water. Pots of colorful flowers at the base but didn't want to be too annoying with the camera.

Okay, I was a little annoying. Don't know these people but they seemed to be enjoying their meal as were we.

Did a double check with the doctor today to confirm he still wants DH to have the bone scan scheduled a day before the surgery and yes, still needed. The days are going by quickly now. We are scheduling all the last minute things that need to be taken care of and going over all the mundane chores we will now be doing while he is in the hospital. He heals incredibly fast and hope his stay is closer to one week than two.

Daughter had her first day on the job yesterday and unbelievable as it sounds, they have already made it a 40-hour week, promoted her and given her a raise. Turns out an employee just quit and while holding a meeting to discuss who would replace her, they thought of the "new girl" with the great attitude. Yep, that was DD and she couldn't believe it - from a 20-hour week to full time, a raise, and new position. See what sobriety does? She is so concerned about all the time she's lost and knows she has a lot of catching up to do. This really helped and she is beyond jazzed.

Had a late lunch with neighbors at Back Street - a deli restaurant with a small selection of delicious sandwiches and the best pasta salad ever. Dining is al fresco with umbrellas and misters to deal with the heat. A wonderful afternoon. Good company, good food. It doesn't get much better than that.
