Empty toast

It was this same lovely meal that Derik enjoyed a Shirley Temple. Now I must tell you many times we gather there is a toast. So towards the end of thr evening I proposed a toast, then as we raised our glasses we realized....they were all empty. I must tell you giving who we were toasting we proceeded and had all the more laughs.

Good times with old friends as more new things to come.

Derik's Shirley Temple

So as I am looking over my blog posts from the last few months I figure now is a good time I update and my saved title made me giggle so I felt the need to update this one.

Rnd and friends have graciously adopted each other and become friends.

So as we are ordering one of the guys orders coffee, not uncommon from other times we get together and eat. At some point throughout the meal another friend asks him why just coffee why not at least a Shirley Temple or something. This got a GREAT reaction with Derik saying that he would NEVER be able to drink such an extremely girls drink. Why this was my opportunity....so the next time our server came by we (mostly me) requested a sprite with cherry syrup be delivered to our dear friend...who admitted that it was pretty good...

So yes this event had more to do with a friend than with me....but when friends have a significant event in their lives....we all celebrate.
