I met Cee at the restaurant a little after 1pm (to avoid the large lunch crowd they always have). I got there before her so I ordered a perfect Margarita. I've had it there before and it tastes wonderful. We checked out the menu and placed our order (which included an appetizer with the meal). The spinach dip was incredible and the tortilla chips were light and warm. When our lunch came, it looked like a two-day meal....LOL. We both had ordered shrimp and it came with fries and a veggie. Cee got broccoli, I took the slaw. We both took home a lot of the meal. We finished off our lunch with an Irish coffee which neither of us had had in over 8 years. I laughed because the last time we had one was at Bennigans in Ft Lauderdale. *Sigh* I miss that place. They had the absolute BEST French onion soup.
I almost hated to go home but....we got a thunderstorm shortly after we arrived at our homes. Lucky for us, I think. We lost our satellite connection here and had a brief power interruption. No TV and no internet for about a half hour. After having such a great time with Cee, with no TV, the Beast decided to come in and tell me all about how Dennis has gone bonkers. It seems he believes in the alien connection to human creation now. It all had to do with a passage he read in the Bible and reading an ancient Sumarian document. I laughed and said he would probably like the program on that kind of thinking called Ancient Aliens on the History Channel. The Beast told me NOT to tell him about it....LOL.
I was glad when we got the TV back because he left to watch his programs on the living room TV. He left me alone because I told him I was going to take a nap...which I did a little later. I woke up for dinner and then got online to check out any new postings on FB. It always takes me a couple hours to go through everything but I had looked at it early this morning before I got dressed for my lunch date. Thank you everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday and a great day. It was.
I guess no one has any particular problems that they would like to see if I have a hint to solve since no one has commented. So I will just pick and choose. I DO try to pick out something timely but I am still open to suggestions. Let me know.
We got some bad news about the Beast's cousin, Butch. His daughter-in-law, who is a nurse, got copies of all his records and sent them to the doctors that she works with. They confirmed that he has brain cancer, lymph node cancer, cancer in the one lung and a few other places. They have set him up with an appointment to ready him for chemo and radiation therapy for the brain tumors. The doctors told him that it would be easy to zap the brain tumors but they would return. However, they told him that when they zapped them again, they would not return. They only hope that the chemo will rid him of the other cancers. I don't understand why they wouldn't be removing the lymph nodes since they do that in women all the time when they have cancer in them from it spreading from breast cancer. But what do I know?
At least his kids are all down there with him right now. His sons flew in and his daughter drove down from her home in TN. If I haven't mentioned it, Butch lives in Titusville, FL....which is close to Cape Canaveral or whatever they call it nowadays. That's not too bad a drive for his daughter. The Beast has made it a time or two. In fact, at the end of July, he may take the trip down with his cousin, Bevie, who is Butch's sister. She will drive here and they will leave from our house to go down there. I told the Beast he really needs to make the trip because I doubt Butch will make it and he's been closer to the Beast than either of his own brothers have been. If he doesn't go, I will be very angry with him.
Time to get this posted. I wish you all a wonderful weekend. Be careful of whatever weather you are *blessed* with and drive carefully. Smile a lot and take the time to laugh out loud. It's good for you. ***Hugs***
