Keys........

                                  

My son did find his spare keys.  He had moved them from the 'place' and when he moved out he moved them again and took them with him.  He obviously forgot that 'move' and thought they were still here.  He come home on his break from work and went through the same places I did.  I guess he thinks I am blind or that I don't know what keys look like.  After rummaging through things, he left and he stopped at his place, of course leaving me to pick up the mess.  Sure enough the keys were right were I had suggested he look.  He didn't bother to call and let me know the news, so I spent the early part of the evening not knowing if we were actually going to do dinner.  I figured after some time past he had either found them or was able to get in his car.  If he hadn't, surely he would have called me.  I was comfy with the idea of him getting into his car but had no idea about dinner.  He finally called about 8 and we were still on.   

He picked me up about 9:30 and off to Applebee's we went.  He had gotten a coupon from work at Christmas and he wanted to use that.  Dinner was good, although I really snacked.  He ate and even ate some of mine.  No problem there, at that time I didn't want to eat a big meal.  He even had dessert, something he generally doesn't do.  It was great sitting with him and chatting.  Seeing him smile and laughing as we mocked folks, both family members and the other patrons.  I really do miss him.  Or, maybe it's I miss our private time.  Either way it was good and I think we need to plan that more often.  Out, just the two of us.
