Guiseppi's

One of our goals is to try a  new restaurant each widows trip.  It's funny how we have so many people offering us ideas.  This time it was my Mom's CNA who suggested Giuseppe's Old Depot.  Our family had been there a few times when the kids were small.  We traveled a lot with Jim when he had business trips.
 It's right by the railroad tracks so it tied in with our tour the next day.  It's Italian food and good.  A nice atmosphere and our waitress just added to our fun.  When asked if they had a bathroom she answered "No. You have to go out behind the train."  Our kind of fun.

After Giuseppe's it was off to our hotel but not before we had our much anticipated "McDonald's small ice cream cone.  The only problem was finding a McDonald's. Isn't there usually one on every corner.  We had to go an extra 3  miles to find one but our Widow's informed me they had only asked "Are we there yet?" hum........ well, not that many times.

By the time we got to our hotel is was 9:30 way past my bedtime.  Our much anticipated discussion time  was not going to happen.  Boy was I wrong.  You get 6 women together, let alone these 6 women and there is going to be discussion.  Politics are always a part of our fun.  We all have our opinions and political affiliations. Sometimes they are quite opposite.  We finally have all come to the agreement O J Simpson did it!

 Discussion then went to the bible and our beliefs.  Our ideas are sometimes so different.  We grew up different times, different generations.  Our discussions sometimes get a little heated but in the end it comes down to respect for one and other.   We are always grateful that we end up all friends.  

 Our visiting times always seem take on the silly end.  Guess we're just like little kids, the tireder (is that a word?) we get, the sillier we become.  And by 1:30 in the morning we can be pretty silly. One widow asked me "Are you not afraid to do anything?"

You know my life has turned in so many different directions since becoming a widow that one thing is for sure,"Life is short" and of course "Laughter is the best medicine". And if you could only see and hear these widows laugh...... Best medicine I've have in a while. (Grandbabies excluded)

 I would like to tell you what our laughter is about but we all know "WHAT HAPPENS ON THE WIDOWS TRIP STAY ON THE WIDOWS TRIP!"
