Family Day

Today was one of those great family days. In our family, it always involves going out to eat at one of our favorite places where we only go a couple times a year because it is a little pricey. This place is called Pasquales...,hubby and daughter love the ribs. It is located in one of those old, two story brick buildings that run the entire block and there are like ten businesses which are all long and narrow. They are on one end of the building...you can enter from the back or front door. There is a long bar that runs down one whole side and on the other side is a long row of tall tables that only seat two people.

By the rear door and the front dooe are two tables that seat four or five. These were all full with the exception of one table which had two middle aged men sitting there even though there is a sign on the table which says 'Reserved for four or more'. The five year old suggests we sit at the bar and we agree we are fine with it.

The floors are black and white checkered, the ceilings are high with the tin decorative sections with lamps hanging from them. The walls are covered with WWII memorbilia including some old Coke stuff which I collect. We all sit at the bar on vinyl covered stools with the chrome legs.

Now there is only one waitress but she does the best she can and is not even frazzled. It all takes a long time but the kids do a better job of waiting than I do.

We are so full after we leave we do not have supper. But I did make chocolate shakes when we all sat down to watch a movie (The Empire Strikes Back) before bed.


All in all, a good day.
