Entry 409: Steak and Shake Of All Places

Lance grew up in a very small town in Iowa and only had a graduating class of around 50 people. When Lance left to start teaching in Missouri 18 years ago, he pretty much lost contact with all of them. This changed a little bit on Saturday.

As we stated in an earlier post some of Lance's family came down this weekend to see the Royals play the Cubs. When we left the game we were all hungry and decided to get something to eat. We looked all over and almost everything was closed (don't even get me going about how everything closes at 10:00 on a Saturday), so we settled on Steak and Shake. We ordered and dad went up to the bathroom and Lance's brother in law looks at us and said that dad must have made a friend because he was talking to someone. We all looked over and Lance thought that she looked familiar to him. She then came over and started talking to Lance and it was a girl he graduated high school with and then her husband came over and he was a guy that Lance graduated high school with. They were there to see the Cubs game also and it was nice to be able to reminisce for a little while. Like the post title says, Steak and Shake of all places.
