On top of our usual Saturday Errands, which this weekend involved out monthly trek over to Sam&#8217;s club in NY, we made a small pit stop to meet 2 fabulous friends for lunch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;So we met <a href="http://iamwalter.blogspot.com/">Walt</a> and his hubby Ken just about 2 years ago in NYC as part of a group gathering. We have since then kept in touch via Facebook and our mutual blogs.</p>

<p>So after much cajoling and finally putting all the right things in place and much discussion, we finally made it happen and had a wonderful lunch meeting the 4 of us.</p>
<p>Walt was every bit the great guy I remembered from so long ago! And contrary to popular belief his husband Ken is a pretty nice guy as well.</p>

<p>Since Walt and Ken live in Albany, and we live in Danbury, the most logical place to meet was Hyde Park NY at the <a href="http://www.theevereadydiner.com/">Eveready Diner</a>. My hubby and I first heard of this great diner when it was showcased on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network. And if it is good enough for Guy then hell it must be good enough for us.</p>

<p>So all in all the food and the Company we kept made for a great day all around. Later that night we attended our friends monthly game night where I was able to break in the new Scattegories game I bought for the occasion, and promptly lost the over game, but had some wins a couple of the rounds.</p>
