Perfect Weather for Lunch Outside

I got to have lunch today with my long time friend and blog reader, Marie - you've seen her comments here probably. We had lunch at a new restaurant, Detour, (click on the name to go to their web page) which is across from Bub's and right on The Monon Trail. Our lunch was really good. I had di Mario which was a thin flatbread with thin sliced roast beef, green & red peppers, mushrooms and melted mozzarella cheese. Marie's meal was very good too - quesadillas. The temp. was in the low 70's - perfect for lunch outside.

Marie and I met at my first full time job at Union State Bank and have stayed friends for about 30 years since. We went to Jazzercise together several years, became Stampin' Up! Demonstrators at the same time, went to the same church for a while, both went through divorces and the single years after and went on a couple of fun trips together. Now we're both happily married and she even has a granddaughter.

Bill has been working on the corn and bean heads for the combine. Today he's at an insurance class in Des Moines. He's on the board of Pocahontas Mutual and has to take a class every year.
