A (last?) lunch inside Ole's Guacamole.

Before Omicron hit our shores, we decided to try eating inside one last time, several weeks ago.

We were masked all the time we weren't eating...and sipped our drinks with straws under our masks too! But this was a lunch we needed. Cathy's caring for a sick pup that is her family. She's been pretty stressed about it. Josie is a sweet dog, but this may be her (Josie's) last days.

I loved the tiles between each booth, and felt somehow safer with less air shared by the next booth, which we couldn't see or hear.

There were pretty decorations on the bright blue walls.

These cute little flower shelves on the orange wall were in the Ladies rest room.

This nicely glazed sink was also inviting clean hands.

We may be using take-out for any Mexican food for the next few months. The Omicron variant makes inside dining pretty questionable. But the weather has been so nice and warm, we could probably eat on the patio by the stream, if we wished.

Today's quote:

We must abandon completely the notion of blaming the past for any kind of situation we’re in and reverse our thinking and see that the past always flows back from the present. That now is the creative point of life. So you see it’s like the idea of forgiving somebody, you change the meaning of the past by doing that. Also, watch the flow of music. The melody as it’s expressed is changed by notes that come later. Just as the meaning of a sentence—you wait till later to find out what the sentence means… The present is always changing the past.
