early night

It's a bit early but we will be out for dinner. Jim called from Seattle and wants to take us for dinner at the Keg for Ray's birthday on Saturday. It should take him about 3 hours to get here from Seattle barring any incident at the border and rush hour traffic. It will be good to see him, he has had a long journey.
I had to rearrange my calendar this week. We postponed our casino visit with Margaret as Jim does not like the casino. Then I had to change the restaurant because we had planned to go to the Keg too so now we are going to Swiss Chalet for chicken  with Sam to celebrate his and Ray's birthday instead of steak. Two celebrations  in one week. We are a busy bunch here. I think I am recovering well because we are pretty active at least part of the day.
Ray had to take his car in this morning but they were too busy so he has to go back tomorrow. he did have an appointment but he didn't want to leave me alone for too long.
I receved a lovely floral arrangement this morning from the ladies "Pumpkin Seeds group" where I used to go on Tuesdays to sew. It is gorgeous and I am very happy with it and thankful for the thoughtfulness of my friends.
Great dinner at the Keg. I had the quarter head of lettuce covered in blue cheese dressing, diced tomatoes and something else that I forget. But it was delicious. The first time I had this was in Reno quite a few years ago. I liked to so much but had never seen it on another menu, so of course I had to have it. Then we all ordered steak or prime rib with baked potato and all the fixings. It was a lovely evening.
We're watching The Mentalist so I need to focus :))
I'm getting pretty tired, another busy day, so I am thinking of going to bed soon. I really need to lay down but then I read for a couple of hours,so it is my body that gets tired and needs a rest. I am going to do that after the Mentalist is over.
Good night folks.
