Well, Stefy and I had a lovely dinner with Ken and Margaret at Clara’s last night. It was great getting to catch up with them about everything that’s been going on over the past two years. Margaret told us about how all their kids and grandkids were doing, and I filled them in on my new job and how everyone in my family has been doing.
Ken had some health problems the spring after our trip to London, so I was a worried that he might seem a little slower/tired somehow. Nope, same old Ken… he hadn’t lost a beat. In fact, he was just as cheery and as big of a flirt with the ladies (including Stef) as I remembered.
I thought the dinner itself was nice, but Ken had some issues with the meatloaf he ordered. Apparently any food recipe that includes a spice other than salt is enough to set an Englishman’s tongue on fire. It all worked out though — once we ordered Mr. Wedd a steak and a “jacket potatoe,” he was good to go.
After dinner we dropped Ken and Margaret off at Joan’s house (she’s the one we met them through many years ago when my mom traveled to England), and stuck around for a few minutes to chitchat. Ken and Margaret’s daughter and her family, along with their eldest son and his wife, are arriving on Friday, so it sounds like we’ll meet up with the whole brood at some point next week. Stef and I met Sharon and her family two years ago, but we’ve never met their son before, so it should be fun.
Anyway, it was a great evening, and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the Wedds again before they head home a couple weeks from now.
