We Were Sabotaged!

Today I was supposed to meet April (@thislittlepennyearns ) for lunch. Apparently the authorities got wind of it and sabotaged our plans.
Seriously, April’s mother-in-law had surgery the other day, and her incision was hurting. If you’ve ever had that happen you know how frightening it can be. Heck, I was at the doctor not too long ago for some weird pain in a 40-year-old incision scar!
So we will reschedule it for when I head out. Meanwhile, the state can breathe a momentary sigh of relief.
And I’ll say this: the little place where we were going to eat serves a great grilled chicken sandwich!!!
Here’s the seat where April would have been sitting.

They heard you saw @moffittjc and they were worried we might cause as much damage as you did!
And I promise when you come back we will meet there, and try to sit there!
Thank you for being so understanding.

@thislittlepennyearns Karen is worth having lunch with. She will not disappoint. She's great company.

Me too. I’ll gladly come back as long as her MIL is okay. And that’s her first priority, rightfully so!!!!

@FourWalls You might have to detour a little bit out of your way, but she is within driving distance of Florida.

Stuff happens, and there’s no way I would ask her to keep the date when she has a sick family member.

Linda, if you hurry you can get down here to Florida and pick us up and take us all to Key West with you. We can all eat lunch at Margaritaville and then drink some adult beverages at Sloppy Joe's and then watch the sunset on Mallary Square!

@moffittjc I am sitting here in a house with no heat or hot water and 7" of water in the basement. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be than in Key West with you and Four Walls.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If at first you don’t succeed…play shortstop. We’ll try again! I just want her MIL to feel better more than anything.

Are you sure that April didn't get wind of the shenanigans we experienced during our lunch and she took off running as far away as she could get? Or maybe she thought you had Jeff cooties and didn't want to catch them! lol

I will say a few cop cars went by, and two Fire & Rescue employees were there as I left.

It was hardly a disappointment, only that her family member is having difficulty with postoperative pain and I didn’t get to see her. The food was good and it’s not cold the way it is at home!

I’m on the east coast of Florida. My plan is to go down to Melbourne then over to Tampa and up. I’ll try to catch her on the way back.

I am sorry for the mother of April and I KNOW what pain in a surgery incision means. My husband is dealing with this right now, both his hernia incision, one already 20 years old, hurt. At least you enjoyed a great grilled chicken sandwich.

It is a fun little “dive” restaurant, too. The only thing it needed was a jukebox with 50s and 60s songs.n
