Saturday Evening, July 5

Clayton, Peggy, Cerwin, and I enjoyed a slow walk toward the restaurant where we had reservations.

This was the sidewalk to an antique shop.

We liked this sign indicating that the shop was closed.

We weren’t shopping anyway.

We arrived at Cobblestone Grill about half-an-our early but decided to see if our table was ready.

When I said my name, the host said, “I just prepared your table.”

My favorite Peggy and Clayton.

I love these people!

Peggy and I decided that we will probably never run out of things to talk about.

We enjoyed our quiet corner of the restaurant.

When I made reservations, I said we would like a quiet area, because we haven’t seen our friends for a couple of years – and visiting is a priority.

This was Peggy’s meal.

I think it was salmon.

The guys got filet mignon.

Cerwin said it was perfect to his taste.

I chose two appetizers. This was Apricot Chicken Bruschetta.

The chicken was smoked – the reason it looks like ham.

There was also goat cheese.

I also chose this because I had never tasted Grilled Watermelon Salad – and I love trying new things.

Grilling it really changes the taste, but it was delightful.

There was spinach, feta, strawberries, almonds, fresh basil, mint, and topped with summer vinaigrette.

Clayton and Cerwin ordered Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert ~ with the plan that Peggy and I would eat some of it.

We talked, laughed, and drank decaf coffee until we got tired of coffee. 🙂

Peggy and I liked the creative restroom washbowl.

We continued to talk after going back to the street and enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere – including a guitarist/singer on the restaurant patio across the street.

Then we heard music coming from the patio of Cobblestone.

We had chosen not to eat outside because there was live music.

We thought it may hinder our visit.

But when we heard the song they were singing, we almost wished that we had chosen the patio. 🙂

They were singing, “It’s me, it’s me, oh, Lord, standing in the need of prayer.”

We could not have found a better place to meet our friends.

I already dream about doing this again sometime.
