A Picnic on a Wednesday

Today at lunch instead of going out for a sandwich, I decided to stop in at Cicada Market and grab some things so Becks and I could have a picnic.  I grabbed some Georiga Gouda from Sweetgrass Dairy, a baguette, three kinds of olives (kalamata, oil cured and one other kind) and some tomato/ mozarella/cucumber salad and then headed off to her office.

I pulled in, went up to the door and noticed there was a “Be Back at 2:00 p.m.” sign taped to the door.  I looked inside and did not see any lights so I headed back to my truck.  I was mad because I thought we were suppossed to have lunch together and I dislike eating by myself.  I stomped back to the truck and headed back to work. 

When I got in I had an email from Becks telling me that I was an idiot and that she was hungry.   She had been at work, but had been in the back of her office and had come to the front door just as I was speeding away.  She had tried to call me, but I had not answered my phone.  I had failed to answer my phone because I had forgotten it on my desk.  Oops.

I collected the food, picked up some drinks and headed back to her office.  We ended up having a very nice lunch in the gazebo at her office.   All that was missing was a bottle of wine.  Next time I will wait more than 10 seconds after I knock and will try not to forget my phone.
