This was an interesting day for us, as it was one where I screwed up a little and things worked out better because of it....

RQS and I were supposed to meet her cousin and his wife at a local eatery. Normally, one doesn't need a reservation to eat there. But for Sunday brunch, they advise getting one ahead of time. Not knowing this, I didn't make the reservation and found out that we'd have to wait an hour before having a chance to eat there. So, we checked with her cousin and agreed to eat at a local diner.
Going to DD's diner in Ossining in the past revealed a limited menu. But in a pinch, the diner was always a reliable place for me to eat. This time, I was impressed, as they returned to their pre-pandemic full menu. This gave us a chance to have a filling meal, and time to have a leisurely chat. And chat we did! We got along as if we have been the closest of friends for years. I was surprised to find that her cousin noticed my tiny earrings. But then, he is a doctor, and trained to notice these things.
All too soon, they had to leave for their home (they live 5 hours away), and we had to get back to my place to take care of things. In a conversation we had afterwards, RQS and I had a feeling that they would be accepting of my Marian side. Maybe one day, I'll reveal it to them and find out.
