Amigos en El Sombrero

Job lives in Grand Forks, ND; Allison lives in Minneapolis, MN; and we have been friends with them for years since when we all lived in the Grand Cities. They're spending the summer in southwest ND to perform in the musical in Medora, so we've seen them a few times when we've attended their performances (remember this and this?). But we figured a social occasion was in order, so we arranged to meet them for dinner today in Dickinson, to which they come regularly to use the West River Community Center. We had a tasty meal at El Sombrero, a terrific Mexican restaurant that filled us up and tolerated us as we talked and laughed too loudly and stayed long after the plates were empty. The girls had colored pictures and made greeting posters for Job and Allison, so those had to be distributed and oohed and awed over, and hugs had to be meted out, and plans had to be made to do this again (next week, in fact--this time with Thai take-out), and photos had to be posed for. It's always so good to see old friends (not implying that they're "old" friends, of course).
