The Little Piggies

The other little piggy invited this little piggy out to breakfast today. If there is one thing I love more than going out to lunch with my friends, it's going out to breakfast with my husband! This was a follow up appointment day with my radiology oncologist. I hate the word oncology! It reminds me of a lot of really bad things - like the fact that I had breast cancer. The operative word here is HAD. I really feel like it is gone, but these follow up appointments remind me of that shadow on my health resume.

Anyway, when we woke up with another day to praise the Lord, and love each other, Don asked what was on the schedule today. I mentioned this appointment, and said we could have breakfast when I got back.

"I have a better idea," he said. "Why don't I go with you and then we could go out to breakfast afterward?"
He knows he can always entice me with breakfast. So we sat at Ruby's, got the off-duty employee discount without asking (Thank you, Erica, and Ryan) and chattered away the whole time.
I just love these "little piggy dates." He waited patiently in the car while I did my thing, but by the time we got home, he was totally spent, and will probably spend the rest of the day until late afternoon in bed.
Oh, well. I have a lot of yard work to do, and the memory of two little piggy's sitting at Ruby's will carry me through the day. (And maybe tomorrow!)

Like I said, these are our "Memories Days."
