We had lunch today with a very special, very dear friend! Our friend Mary had come into Spokane this morning from her home on Tiger Mountain for a consult and we met at Maggie's South Hill Grill up on 29th. Maggie's was one of the places we enjoyed for lunches when we lived here in Spokane. We weren't sure it was still here and still open since restaurants sometime have short lives. But we drove up that way and sure enough it was still here and it was open!
Mary arrived a few minutes after we did and we had a chance to catch up just a little bit while we ate. She had a Reuben that looked delicious and I had a bowl of wonderful butternut squash soup that was absolutely scrumptious. Forry wasn't hungry, so just had ice tea.
He had an appointment early this afternoon to have an MRI done of his back at Columbia Imaging which was just around the block from the restaurant. Forry and I headed over that way while Mary went to pick up a few things at Trader Joes. She joined me while I was waiting for Forry to have his imaging done and we had a chance to visit a little bit more. The doctor is running a bunch of tests on Forry to try to find out why his back and legs are hurting when he walks very far.
But, we decided that we just had too much to catch up on, so made plans to drive up to her home in the woods near Colville early next week. Mary is one of those dear souls that we cannot have seen for over a year, but can pick up the conversation as if we had just talked yesterday. Now that she is retired, we'll have to see if we can get together more often.
We did have another thunderstorm last night, but it blew through pretty fast. We could hear thunder in the distance this morning, but only had a few drops of rain. But, the storm did drop the temperature considerably. I put on long pants and a long-sleeved shirt this morning and we actually plugged in the little heater this evening in the living room.
