Grandson Nathaniel and wife Sarah came for the day to visit Lise and me. We were very pleased that they could take a day off together. She is a manager in a hotel, and he is the kitchen manager for a Mexican restaurant. Lise presented Nate with a St. Patrick’s Day hat we found for him. The shamrocks glow in the dark.

Nathaniel said they had looked at restaurants in Waynesville and picked out one they would like to try. Lise said we had done the same thing.

Nate said, “You go first.”

Lise replied, “No, you go.”

Nate conceded and said, “The Red Fox Tavern.”

Lise and I burst out laughing as we did a high five. That was the same one we had chosen. Nathaniel treated us to a most delicious meal. We had the dining room to ourselves, and Lise persuaded the waitress to turn down the loud music.

On the way home, we stopped at the Cheesecake Moose to take home individual treats.

Before they left, the group cleaned up the headboard Lise was bringing back in the house.

After Lise set up the bed, she laughed at the way the cord holding my glasses flipped over my head.

We appreciated their taking a day to be with us and enjoyed our memories of the day.
