Thank You Cheese Gallery

Trying to be as true to myself as possible in my ongoing Quest for Fitness (yes...I'm still on it and the result of hard work is paying off slowly but surely) while I was lunching with a friend at The Cheese Gallery in Thornbury today I couldn't find anything in their offering that worked for me.  I explained this and voila, Casey and Wendy came up with a special plate just for me (I think they should call it the Julie Cheese Plate) and they gave me some fresh fruit with some low fat cheese.  Yeay.

The Best Corned Beef Sandwich

I popped by the Legion last Friday for a Corned Beef Sandwich.  There is no question about it folks, John (just John) at the Legion serves up the very best Corned Beef Sandwich in the land.  Piled mile high for only $3.50 it's a steal of a deal.  Available only on Fridays.  I tried to get John to smile for the picture...he was playing hard to get.

Balloon Expressions makes and Impression

My daughter's best friend Zoe came to visit for her birthday. Her mom had made dinner reservations and I wanted to give her a special welcome when they arrived at the restaurant.  So I called Melissa Foley at Balloon Expressions and asked her to make something really special.  Melissa sent me a text message asking if Zoe had any hobbies and what her hair and eye colours were.  I told them that Zoe loves to sing and has brown hair and hazel eyes. They created a mini Zoe out of Balloons!  It was just fantastic and Zoe was so thrilled about it.  So thank you so very much to the folks at Balloon Expressions!
