Being retired is so much fun…it's a bit like being on
vacation all the time.

The plan was to sleep in (that’s pretty much always the
plan) and then figure out what we wanted to do.
Yup, not a lot of advance planning in our days.
We decided to revisit The Brunch Place for an earlier lunch
and then head over to the movies. Hmmm,
kind of forgot about how busy it can be on a Sunday when the church crowd gets
out. The place was packed.
Left Brain was wearing his Green Bay Packers hat and the
waitress refused to seat him at first because of it. I asked for a table for one. She laughed and guided us through the herd to
a small table for two that was just being cleaned up.
Due to the crowd, the wait for our food took quite a while
and we decided if the movie didn't work out, we’d just return home and try it
again a different day.
The waitress that seated us came by the table several times
with coffee and water and each time would reach over and turn his hat over to
hide the Packers label. I love a place
with surly waitstaff…it makes it so much more fun.
Our crabmeat omelets with hollandaise sauce were
wonderful. It’s so nice to always have
access to a wide variety of seafood as we’re trying to cut back on our red meat
consumption. Of course, this my main
diet anyway. When I “see food” I eat it.
As it worked out we had time to leisurely eat our brunch and
made it to the movies just in time, we didn't even miss any of the previews.
Lone Survivor wasn’t an easy movie to watch. It is based on a true story and showed the
courage and bravery of our soldiers in Afghanistan and some of the tough
decisions they face in war time.
It seemed odd not to have any popcorn or soda to clean up as
we exited the theatre but I never really missed having it at all as we were so
full from brunch.
Afterwards we had planned to stop and pick up some stuff at
the store, but felt drained by the movie and instead retreated to the comfort of
our patio.

Did you ever visit the establishment of Ed Debevic's? You have to be real surly to work there.
ReplyDeleteGood thing Left Brain wasn't wearing a tie - they would have probably cut if off of him!
ReplyDeleteI just love the "no crabbing" sign. Forgive me, but I'll have to borrow it. I can be a nice reminder to myself when I'm thinking of crabbing. lol. Enjoy the "see food", and have a wonderful day. Hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteCrabmeat Omelets ... mmmmm, my mouth waters. I love sea food and "see" food and any food as far as that goes. Might be my problem ... hmmmm. I want to see that movie, but almost dread it. I think everyone should see it and have an appreciation for what our troops go through over there. We certainly are not treating them right when they come home. There are so many things we should be up in arms about that we have become numb to all of it. Sad state of affairs ... See you Friday, Queen of PSF ...
