Tuesday Night Dinner

Well, tonight I had Tuesday night dinner despite the fact that it is Thursday night. Lemme 'slpain. Almost every Tuesday night since Hurricane Fran, my family has had dinner with two men, John and Steve, who went and still go to our church. It originated as us being friends and our power went out during Fran and the five days after so John and Steve brought over food one Tuesday night and we had a very  good meal.  We decided that we had so much fun that we wanted to go ahead and have dinner the next Tuesday night as well. And so it went for the last 8 years. Pretty crazy eh? Same people, same night, supremely good food? John and Steve have become family to us, and we to them. They are on all of my emergency contacts, and they have often taken care of either me or my little brother when my parents could be with us, typically for work. Well tonight since we couldn't get together on Tuesday we had Tuesday night dinner. John has been to Cuba 5 or 6 times so he helped me plan on what I needed to do to deal with the new 44 lbs. limit. We had chicken and rice. It was a good night.
