Bright Little Monday Evening

Michelle called yesterday and asked if we could babysit for a couple of hours last night.  Sheila immediately cancelled her regular, set in stone, Monday night Zumba session and made it happen.

We had a quick dinner at Viet Huong on 21st just west of Memorial.  Viet Huong is probably Tulsa's best Vietnamese restaurant in Tulsa.  Be advised, they take no cards or checks.  It is a cash only business.  But, the food is unbelievably and reliably good.  We had our favorite Bun Gao Nau, a bowl filled with cold rice noodles and salad garnished with the meat of your choice and two fresh egg rolls.  It is a wonderful light meal.

As we were eating, I was taken aback by a young priest who walked in.  He is the spitting image of my old friend the Rev. Dennis Queen in his younger days.  I shamelessly eavesdropped for a while and noticed that even his mannerisms and voice were even much like my friends.  Given the stylish European flair of his clothing, unless I miss my guess, he has recently spent time abroad. I later learned that he is Fr. Kerry Wakulich, the new Catholic chaplain at the University of Tulsa.

After dinner, we had the pleasure of feeding our grandson, little Ben Bob, his dinner and playing with him for a while.  I played guitar on a smart phone app which kept him interested for a little while between bites of food and then played some good uke jazz for him from YouTube.  When dinner was over, Sheila and Ben  declared a play time.  From the looks on their faces, it is hard to tell who was having the better time.

It was a nice little evening.
