At last, the long-planned dinner with Jade and Duane took place at TGI Friday. Rick and I went ahead as we were the hosts...and soon Jade and Duane arrived. Jade is sporting a pony tail and looked good. Rick commented that she does look prettier than the last time he saw her. Anyway, the food was good: Jade and I both had sizzling chicken and shrimps over peppers and cheese with mashed potatoes...Duane had his favorite fried battered shrimps and Rick a good plate of Jack Daniels steak with mashed potatoes too. For dessert, we all had a 2 plates of Oreo with Ice-Cream and caramel...pretty heavy stuff!
Other than the good food, we had a swell time discussing a lot of things from sports, clothes, jobs, and food! Jade showed us their "baby" a lion head rabbit named "caramel". She got rid of her fish tank and lots of fishes as they found it tedious maintaining aquariums. Apparently Caramel is trained using a litter box. Jade always enjoyed taking care of pets even when she was a kid.
I told them that Rick is teaching me how to golf and apparently Jade is quite interested in taking up golf and so we plan to take them to the driving range one time...Duane used to golf when he was 6 to 12 years old, but baseball took over which somehow distorted his golf swing.
Before leaving TGI, we took photos.. and talked about them going to our place and us going to theirs! Rick told them both they are now his family too. And he recounted how Gina and Migs are wonderful kids and calls him Lolo and Yoyo!
I thank God for this night---it gave us the time to bond like old times.
Good to hear that your dinner date finally came to be.
