Today is Mother's (Florence Mae's) 84th birthday. I wanted to take her out for a really nice steak dinner at the Outback Steak House. So I took the afternoon off work and Jim and I took her to Layton. Who knew that the "Outback" did not open till 4:00 pm. Oh well. We went to the "Lone Star" instead. We got mother a really nice filet mignon steak with a nice salad and a "twice baked potato" (which was a new menu item) and thought that it would be a great meal. Mother would have rather gone to the "Sizzler" but I told her no that we wanted to go some where really nice. Well her steak was very dry and grainy and the twice baked potatoe was very small, dry and tasteless. So much for trying. anyway I mentioned this to the waitress and the manager came over and comped her steak. All in all she said she had a nice day.
After we ate I took her to visit with Jean Richins and they had a great time catching up.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER
