Santa's Helper

Drew was asked to be Santa's helper this year for the Annual Kramer Christmas Party. She got to ride in on a fire truck and then helped hand out treat bags to kids after they sat with Santa. She had a great time and looked beautiful too!

Happy Place

I had such a happy surprise today that I thought I must share it with the cyber world.

Ben and I have been in Toledo for a couple days while Ben has had some sort of VW training. I have taken the opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done. Well, while driving to a store I happened to see a Lone Star Steakhouse! At first, I just sighed a sigh of sadness, because I have missed this restaraunt at home. Everyone of them, in the metro Detroit area closed up, one by one.

After my brief moment of silence, I realized that this particular restaraunt did not look boarded up! It was actually open! I was quite shocked and excited, to say the least. It was like a resurrection of a long lost friend. Ok, maybe that's a little extreme, but it put a big smile on my face and I ended up high-tailing it over there after I finished a shopping session.

I ordered my favorite steak, the delmonico and cheddar, bacon fries. Yummy. I even got a free caesar salad from my waitress. I think she thought I was a little strange. Maybe it was the perma-smile, I don't know.

Anywho, I just thought I would share that.

And for anyone who also misses this restaraunt, I found out that there are 4 left in Michigan. The closest to the Detroit area is in Belleville.

Thanks for listening!
