To alleviate some of the new-job-who-to-eat-lunch-with-stress for Sarah, Matilda and I ventured downtown to enjoy lunch in the company's cafeteria. Turns out the reasonable prices attract some crazies, but I was quite entertained by the kooky old lady who cut me in line and shared many qualities with my own Grandma Margie. And Matilda was entertained by their beautiful courtyard which meets all of her specifications: fountains, flowers, fish, helicopters overhead. We took the subway to Union Station and before meeting Sarah spent a few minutes enjoying the beautiful garden. And......wait for it.....you got it, sniffing. 
Matilda was so inspired by teasing these beggars she even started saying fish today. Although it sounds more like quiche. Maybe she was just putting her brunch order in early, and we are misunderstanding her as usual.
After a satisfying lunch we headed off to the Central Library to enjoy their enormous children's section. Here Matilda finds one of the Francis books that I forgot I had as a child, although not this large version.
