Three Beautiful Things 10-01-2025: Our Witty Server, Puzzles and Spinning Reels, Dinner at The Plateau

 1. Bruce, Jake, and Terry hit the Wildhorse's golf course shortly before 9:00 and Don, Mike, Ed, and I met at the Traditions restaurant for a delicious and bracing breakfast. Our server was awesome. She was no doubt younger than us, but not a lot younger, and had a great sense of humor and was efficient and engaging. Yes, the food was great, but having a server who seemed like a peer and who seemed to enjoy serving us and enjoyed the repartee that developed when she delivered our orders made the meal all the more enjoyable. 

2. While on this getaway, I'm not really even trying to get as much puzzle solving done as I do at home. I'm behind in crosswords, may not ever solve the Oct 1 Strands, and am putting my energy into enjoying the company of my friends, napping a bit, and spinning reels on the casino floor. 

3. We all joined together for a splendid meal at the resort's steakhouse, The Plateau, tonight. I tried their stuffed chicken breast and enjoyed it, along with a spinach and strawberry salad. Stories and wisecracks flew around the table and we enjoyed a lot of laughs and great food together. Having this Wednesday night dinner together is a long and much cherished tradition.
