Ron's birthday has not quite been the birthday one would want/expect. He had to work....ALL DAY (it is 9:00 and he just called that it will be really late when he leaves.) He has had a huge project going on and it was supposed to be two weekends ago, but got cancelled. It moved to last weekend, there was an equipment problem late last Saturday night. It got moved to this weekend....Ron's birthday.
I had made dinner reservations earlier in the week, when we thought this weekend might cancel, too. So, one of the other guys offered to stay behind at dinner time so Ron could keep his birthday dinner reservations with me. I got dressed and took his suit to him at his office, where he changed before we headed to eat.
It was a wonderful dinner! We went to the Capital City Club and enjoyed conversation, food and the beautiful view of the city. Ron had a steak, while I opted for the snapper with pico de gallo grits. (Now, I am not a big fan of grits....I know, there must be some Yankee blood in me somewhere.....but these were GREAT! Who would have thought -- pico de gallo and grits.)
He walked me back to my car before heading back to the office. At least it was on his birthday and not mine! Just kidding! It wasn't quite the birthday I wanted for him this year, but it turned out to be just fine....nothing better than getting all dressed up, good food and great city to enjoy! And, we have a key lime pie (his favorite) to enjoy tomorrow afternoon with the boys. As for his gift, we'll have to plan time to go get it soon ......I just couldn't decide on the right size seersucker pants to get you today, Ron :)
