The highlight of the day was lunch with former colleagues. Four of us are retired and one is still working. We haven't gotten together for a few months. While service was abysmally slow, we had time to visit as we waited. I had a great sandwich -- roasted vegetables with goat cheese and aioli on focaccia. It came with a bowl of broccoli soup. Everything was delicious. So, it was worth the wait.
Getting out with a group is a wonderful feeling. It doesn't happen too often, but I am grateful for such visits. After being isolated for the pandemic, my gratitude for gathering with friends is felt more than it might have been three years ago.
Lyrics of the selection today represent the simple things that bring joy. Getting together with friends is one of these as is the enjoyment in sharing good conversation over great food. Keep safe. Enjoy!
What a Wonderful World -- Louis Armstrong
