Lunch Out With Daddy

Today, Julie and Clara met Ted downtown for lunch. The Birds have been reminded that this meal is a great time to try or go to restaurants when dinner out is tougher to swing these days. Lunchtime is where it's at. Last week, they had lunch with Elise and Charlotte's handler, Laura, at Spoonriver by the Guthrie, and today with Ted, they went to the Northeast outpost of Brasa. It's a rotisserie place that serves, among other things, the "original" Dr. Pepper from Dublin, Texas.

When we got back from lunch, Julie took this picture. Baby Bird always manages to work one or both feet free of whatever blanket is covering it or them, wherever she is--carseat, crib, in someone's arms. When Ted got home from work later, Julie and Clara were just coming back from running an errand and sure enough, a foot was out. Ted said, "What's this?" and grabbed it. Maybe that's why she sticks them out there, so people can shake a wing.
