Dating....

Hubby and I went out on a date last night. In typical Thomas fashion, he only heard half the conversation, and wondered where "we" were going to eat dinner. I explained to him that it was a date and asked him if he knew what a date was. He replied, "something only two people get to do", and slumped his shoulders as he went on with his chores. He was planning on heading to a restaurant in Jonesville called Chicago Water Grill. This is a very nice restaurant, that we have taken the kids to a couple times for very special occasions, like my dads 60th birthday and parents 40th wedding anniversary. Well, Thomas likes the place, especially what he calls the dessert trailer. They do flaming desserts at this place with a traveling stove. The kids saw it done three years ago and it has left a lasting impression.

We took them to Grandpa Bob and Grandma Ellen's and headed to Chicago Water Grill for a very pleasant dinner. I am not sure how long it had been since we were out on a date, but it had been awhile.

Unfortunately, hubby thinks there may have been some sort of shell fish in his chicken fettuccine Alfredo and he had a slight allergic reaction. He is very allergic to shell fish. We found this out on our first fancy date back on Valentines Day 1987. We went to a restaurant in Lansing called Jim's Tiffany Place and had Prime Rib and Crab Legs for two. Shortly after the dinner ended, I was asking girls in my dorm where the closet emergency room to the MSU campus was. Mike's throat was tightening up and he was breaking out in hives. The hospital took this very serious and treated him immediately. They suggested that he take me to McDonald's for dates from then on.

So we had a nice evening together, but it had an unfortunate end. He took some benadryl and went to bed. It was all it took to make him feel better. Kinda thinking McDonald's is in my future again.
