ANOTHER NEW LUNCH SPOT!

I have another new lunch spot to go to now... today I had lunch with my friend Kelly at Zoe's - the place on Forest Drive that used to be Fran's. I had not been to Fran's in years, and recently drove by and saw that it had reopened as Zoe's. Kelly suggested Zoe's, and I wanted to try it, so we went there! Had an excellent chicken salad wrap and fruit on the side.. it was yummy! We had a great time catching up! Afterward I ran a couple errands and headed home. Need to get some more WORK done - that W word again!

My stepdad had laser eye surgery this morning to correct a detached retina. He discovered the problem on the 4th of July and went to the doctor again on Monday to follow up, and they scheduled the surgery for this morning. When they started doing it, they discovered the retina had detached in TWO places - so it took longer than they expected.. but it went well, and he's now at home recuperating, so fortunately, that went fine! He shouldn't be out of commission too long, a few days or so.

Last night we went up to Capital City Club for happy hour - caught up with several friends up there and enjoyed cocktails and a fun time hanging out.. we ended up deciding to stay for dinner and had a great dinner. Dennis got his b-day dinner free since he just had a birthday. We saw quite a lightning show out the windows of the main dining room. We even got the bartender last night to create a new drink for us with our name on it - it's ALMOST Long Island Iced Tea, but since it lacked the tequila, it wasn't exactly - so we called it the Stanley Special! So now we have our own drink at Capital City Club! Yay!

Tonight, we are making dinner at home, and just hanging out here.. nice for a change! Glad to have a night at home - doesn't seem to happen too often lately!
