Surprise!

I got a call from Rose and Gary yesterday afternoon saying they were in town and wanted to come have dinner at The Restaurant. So I booked them a table and then ran around to everyone who would listen telling them, "we picked up a two-top. it's my favorite aunt and uncle. whee!" (in my defense, at least half of the people needed to be told that we added the extra guests. and I wanted to make sure they got a good table)

Well, I think it's safe to say that they had a good time. The sous chef (who was running the show) hooked them up with tastes of some extra items, and the servers treated them like gold. I set up a kitchen tour for them, since a) Aunt Rose has some culinary background, and b) that way I could say goodnight to them without going back into the dining room. And then the sous chef came over and told them how wonderful I am and the manager told them the place would fall apart without me. I think I'm still blushing.

It turned out to be a really great night for me. And like I said, I think they enjoyed it too.
