1. With Bruce Larsen's celebration of life happening on Saturday (Kellogg Elks, 1:00), Roger flew into Spokane on Thursday and Stu organized a breakfast at Nosworthy's in Coeur d' Alene. A great group of guys from the Class of '72 sat around the table: Jake, Ed, Mike, Roger, Stu, and I.
I've been reading people's comments online lately about how much they love chili omelets. Nosworthy's prides themselves in serving awesome omelets, so I ordered their Blazing Saddle, a chili and cheddar cheese omelet. I'm sold. I will not only look for a chili omelet whenever I go out for breakfast, I'm going to work on making my ugly but tasty homemade omelets with chili and cheddar cheese.
We finished eating, but we weren't finished yakking so we sat at tables in the outdoor dining area and shared more stories and praise for Bruce along with some other subjects and this post-breakfast time together put a cap on a great time together.
2. By this afternoon, Terry and Nancy Turner and Don Windisch and Jeri Robinson arrived in town and PRESTO we had a full table of longtime friends at the Elks' Burger Night. Ed and Nancy, Terry and Nancy, Don and Jeri, Diane Hogan and Dennis Gravely, Mike, and I launched into more fun yakkin' and getting caught up with each other.
3. The party moved across the street to The Lounge and the good times continued. It was a blast to relax, tell more stories, get caught up on news, and simply enjoy friendships, most of them, for me, having started over sixty-five years ago.
