An interesting twist. There is a wonderful pub in our city that holds special meaning to us, and it's closing after this week. It's next to the place we had our wedding reception, and after the reception was over, many of our family and friends went there. W and I went back to the hotel to change out of our wedding outfits, so we were delayed getting there. When we arrived, the whole place was full of our friends and family, and they all cheered when we walked in the door. All was right with the world at that moment.
Anyway, yesterday before son's baseball practice, W was chatting me up, so I said "Did you hear that <pub> is closing?" She looked sad and said "Yeah! And I can't find anyone to go there with me tomorrow night." Didn't sound like she was fishing, since it was so spontaneous, intiated from a question I brought up. I let it go at the time, but after son's practice was over and we were getting in our cars, I said "If I can get babysitting tomorrow night, I'll bring you to <pub>. Let's go." W lit up and said "Really?! Ok!" I said "I'll have to see if I can get childcare, I'm not sure right now, but I'll stay in touch tomorrow." She said "Ok, sounds great." Son overheard us, and asked "What's <pub>?" W recapped the story about what happened after our wedding reception, and said how wonderful it was. I smiled and said to him "One of the best memories of my life." She said "Me too."
