We kept insisting that Dana add a dessert sampler to the menu, but he never agreed. Maybe next time.

but he did say he had been living there since it opened!
We owned a pizza place for a short time and it was AWFULLY hard work.
And I love all the photos with the glasses. It reminded me of the cutest idea I saw. A photographer had some ratty rocker wig at her home and alyone that came over (friends/family) she took a photo of them with the wig on. LAter she had some 60 photographs, she decreased the size, and then laid them out and had it printed like a poster print and framed it. It was so cute and clever-and a fun rememberance of friends.
Looks like ya'll had a great time indeed!
