Dan and I went to Red Robin today for lunch. We are trying to keep busy while Britanie is at school. (Work is not really even an issue right now. Luckily, no one is calling with a bug problem.) Anyway, we went to lunch. The person who showed us to our table asked us if we have anything exciting planned for the weekend. Of course, we just shrugged our shoulders and said "we're adopting...does that count?" When we told her that Britanie was 14 years old she started crying. Then she told us that lunch was on them. (She happened to be the manager) She was so excited that we were adopting a teenager. She kept saying thank you. (And still crying). It was so sweet. Why is it that when you get a free lunch you are never really hungry? So when we were finished with our lunch....a procession of employees came out carrying this:
While Dan and I were eating the manager went to a florist and bought these for us. And then she had all of the employees sign the card. I have never had such wonderful service from complete strangers before. It was the most amazing experience to be pampered like that. And as we left everyone was wishing us congratulations through tears.
