I love this picture of my sons Eric and Matthew with their friend Bill. It was taken years ago...I'm guessing 18 maybe 20 on a week long skiing trip that we had taken the kids on.
One evening we took the boys out for an Italian dinner. We settled down and ordered our meals I can't remember what everyone else ordered but I got the squid and Bill ( pictured below in the middle) had never seen anyone eat (calamari) before. Clearly Bill our guest was pretty grossed out by my choice of meal; his facial expressions said it all.
At the end of our vacation week when we dropped him off at his house his mother greeted him at the door and asked him how his week was he said " Momma you are NOT gonna believe what Jennifer ate!"
It was really pretty cute.

Now lets jump ahead to present day.
Bill is an adult who works in a city that my husband and I visit frequently for get-away weekends. It is not uncommon for us to try to meet with him for at least a drink and if his schedule allows dinner. Last time we had dinner he chose a lovely little place which happened to be Italian. The three of us, Bill, my husband named bill too and myself ordered a bottle of wine and then decided to order appetizers. My husband ordered soup, I ordered salad and Bill ordered fried calamari (squid).
I just grinned :) Then I told him what he did when he was a little boy. He didn't recall but enjoyed hearing what he had said over some tender squid and a nice crisp white wine!
I'm happy to join my friend Martha over at Seaside Simplicity again this week for Flashback Friday. You're welcome to link up and share a great photo from your photo albums or bins and a good story if you have one. It's great fun, really it is!
