Last night was my dad’s 87th birthday! My sister Terry is having a party for him this Sunday, but I’ll be out of town (more about that coming up this weekend, stay tuned!) so we went out for his birthday last night. You’re all invited to come along, but this party is not for the faint of heart, be forewarned, it includes: Booze, Soup...and Cake! Follow along at your own risk...if you dare!
I got a special cake decorated at Schnuck’s grocery store. Melinda decorated it and she did a fantastic job! Then I took the cake over to where we’re having my dad’s birthday dinner to surprise him, but first...
We have to have a pre-dinner drink at the infamous Jerry’s Bar...after all it is Jerry’s birthday! So it’s down the familiar tartan stairwell...
To Jerry’s Bar! And there’s the host and hostess, Anne and Jerry Wombacher! Cheers to the birthday boy!
We’re having the birthday dinner at The Lariat Steakhouse and check out the sign, I guess everyone knows it’s Jerry’s birthday! As we enter we’re greeted by Lariat owner, Dan Kouri who escorts us into the restaurant area. What I love about the restaurant here is that it can be really bright outside, but once you walk into the dining room it feels like midnight and I absolutely love that!
See, I told you, permanent midnight! There’s a shot of the back dining room and a waiter painting that I really enjoy looking at. And we’ve settled into a booth and our lovely and friendly waitress is Kim, but that’s not the end of people celebrating this birthday party with us because we’ve just been joined by...
Extra special guests, Amber and Joe! It was really nice of them to come by and help celebrate my dad’s birthday and so now the party can officially begin!
Suddenly a Lariat napkin appears on the scene and then...
Soup, salad, more soup and beer! Hooray! We had a nice dinner and shared stories and then out came...
The birthday cake! It was delicious! Thanks to Kim, Dan and everyone at The Lariat for a great dinner and birthday evening and special thanks to Amber and Joe for joining us on this festive occasion! Happy birthday to the best dad in the world! We’ll see you all tomorrow!
