Today my grandma turns a young 81. My gift to her was to treat her to dinner at Arthur's Steakhouse in Spring Green, WI. We had talked about going there before I left for Germany and then it never happened. So, upon my return I wanted to make sure I followed through with this. Apparently, this is a restaurant that she had frequented with my grandfather and she has positive memories of the place, so it felt like it was time she returned there. It was a great time!! She talked and laughed like I haven't heard her do for some time now. She was giddy and playful and even welcomed some pictures to be taken. Once I have my new computer, I will post the pictures (and some other new ones) to share on here.
The dinner was quite tasty, though I must admit I think I ate a bit too much food. Grandma had a salad, jumbo shrimp, a baked potato and a piece of chocolate turtle cake for dessert. I had coconut shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes, a salad and a berry lemon cake. I figured through some fruit it in there and it makes the calorie count less :)
It was so much fun I am already looking forward to next year and what she and I might be able to do to celebrate!!
