I have new photos (fotos) to share today on the Friday Foto Friends link-up!! Yesterday, I had lunch with my girlfriends at a new restaurant (for Lakeland) called Cheddars. It was a spur-of-the-moment gathering and worked out well (except there wasn't time to get Melody down to join us). We went early and it was still crowded. It just opened on Monday. I have said before that I don't think anyone in Lakeland makes dinner (or lunch) anymore. Our restaurants are always crowded...even when the snowbirds aren't in town.
I splurged (calorie-wise) and had a Monte Cristo sandwich with coleslaw. It was YUMMY and I couldn't finish it. All the other girls loved what they got, too. I think we have another good restaurant to enjoy now!
My Monte Cristo Sandwich
Heather and Terry
Shirley and Cindee
All five of us. Our waitress was great!
Seems I am always asking for prayers, but this quick get-together was so we could all see Cindee before her surgery in two weeks. She has Parkinson's Disease and is having brain surgery on April 6th. Pre-op stuff is next week. She is nervous and scared. She knows we love her and will all be praying for her. Her family will be gathering to take care of her (and hubby). They have three kids, two are close to Lakeland, and her sister is flying in from Minnesota. Extra prayers for her will be appreciated over the next few weeks! Thanks!!
On this most blessed weekend, have you ever wondered why Good Friday is called "Good" when it is the day Jesus was crucified? There are several theories, but the one most agree upon is that in ancient times "good" meant holy or sacred. That makes perfect sense to me.
Thanks for your visit. (Nothing new from Joe's doctor yet.) Peace & hugs for all!
Mmmm that sandwich looks yummy and large. No wonder you couldn't finish it. lol Looks like everyone is having a fun. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour sandwich does look amazing. I'm glad you were able to get together with friends. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteYou're so blessed to have so many wonderful friends....great support, especially in times of prayer needs!!! That sandwich....I would have split it with you...yummmy!!! ;-) HOPE you have a wonderful Easter weekend, sweet Lady.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is ALWAYS in need of prayer - so always ask away :)
ReplyDeleteKeeping Cindee in prayer... and you and Joe as well...
ReplyDeleteWe have a Cheddar's down here, it's been open about a year and we enjoy eating there. So great to see good friends enjoying great fellowship, or should I say 'sistership?' ))smiles))
ReplyDeleteHow fun is this! Time with girlfriends are one of the treasures of life. Wishing you a very Happy Easter.
ReplyDeletelove the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you have said this weekend regarding Easter (on your blog and comments on mine). I think it's called Good Friday because our Lord Jesus purchased our redemption on this day and that is all good for us! Have a good weekend; praying for Cindee.
ReplyDeleteBTW, we have Cheddars here and also love it. Like you, that Monto Cristo sandwich is great.
