Lunch with Scott and Greg

March 23rd - Friday Beautiful Sunny day in Tampa

Today was the day that Gregory was to have his cast replaced with a shorter one; however, when they did the x-ray of his broken arm it showed amazing healing of both bones and the orthopedists felt he no longer needed to have a cast, so Greg walked out without a cast. He was a pretty happy young man. He did realize how weak his arm had become and will have to wait several weeks before he can be back on his dirt bike. He has some conditioning to accomplish before that time arrives.

Scott and Greg are on their way to to north Florida to visit with Scott's father but took time to meet Lou and I for lunch. He had planned on meeting at the Colonnade for lunch, but knew they didn't open until 11:00 and Greg had finished earlier than we had anticipated, Scott thought we could go to the Cheesecake Factory, so we agreed to meet there. We arrived there and found that they didn't open until 11:00 either, so we sat outside and visited until they opened and then had a lovely table outside and continued our visit.

Our lunch was great. Greg ordered a bacon and shrimp club sandwich with fries, it was a beauty and he could only eat half of it, because we all had to save room for cheesecake. Lou and Scott had clam chowder, a Caesar salad, and a chicken salad sandwich and I had a cashew chicken salad. Our servings were huge and very tasty. Scott and Greg shared an Oreo cheesecake and Lou and I shared a Hershey cheesecake.

Great lunch and great conversation and a chance to see Greg and Scott again before we leave for the north on Sunday. A shame that Sue had to work we missed having her with us today.
