Coles w/ Val

This evening Becky and I went over to Val's house and picked her up to take her to dinner at Coles. We all had a very nice time and a wonderful dinner there as usual. We sat in a booth in the dining room rather than our usual booth in the bar area. Val had a cheese burger, Becky had a beef on weck and I had their clancy roast beef sandwich. Some of our favorites.

Going there tonight on this particular Thursday night was carefully selected once we decided to go to Coles this week. The reason was the Sabres-Canadiens hockey games this week. There was a game last night and there will be another one tomorrow night so to avoid the crazy crowds heading to this bar we decided to go tonight. It was actually a very quiet night for a Thursday which is usually busy. The server told us they were expecting a somewhat quiet night between to very busy game nights.

Well, Val had a great time and she really appreciated us contacting her and asking to go out to dinner with us. She said she had been stir-crazy lately and needed to go out. We picked her up at 5:30 and were sitting in our booth about 15 minutes later. We sat in our booth talking and enjoying our food until almost 7:30 pm. She really enjoyed looking at some of the grandkid photos on my phone particularly the recent ones of Autumn and Clara. Overall we had a great time and we will take her out to dinner again sometime in the near future.
