it was better than Just Lunch

-

Lydia and I went on a date yesterday --  for lunch.  And as the saying goes - - its just lunch – well it as a wonderful lunch.

The rain caused some changes in plans but we adapted to the new means of transport – walk instead of ride the electric motorcycle – and some changes in post lunch plans but the rain did add a bit of challenge and excitement.

As we were walking to lunch, there was a continuous stream of words coming out from under the blue umbrella beside me.  Barely audible, but continuous and so very nice to hear.

 I did have to ask her to pose for another photo as she was so busy talking and I wanted youall to see who was under that moving, talking umbrella that was beside me.  Also note the outfit.  It was carefully chosen and somewhat discussed with her Mom concerning the degree of  "fluffiness" that this particular skirt had as compared with the apparent second choice.

 Our lunch site was a noodle shop on the corner near our apartment complex, and today we ordered choufan – fired rice- as it is a favorite, quite easy to eat – and a lunch type food that Lydia really likes -- I also should mention that I can say choufan pretty well.  Well at least well enough to be sure we would get it.  Also though Lydia is very good with Chinese I did not want to put her in the spot of taking me out to lunch.

 Our table was under the blue and white umbrella to the middle left of this photo.  The interior of the restaurant was full and we created a bit of a stir in there so the outside seat was preferred.   (it is also where I sit when going for noodles by myself- the interior decor is a bit plain- basically Chinese noodle shop decor) 

  

Later after ice cream, guess who got to play with the iPad and got to chose which game and not have to share or anything.
