For Mom's birthday this year we went to Olive Garden. It was a girls night out.
Mom made friends with our waiter, Matt. No surprise there! She even made the poor guy sing the Happy Birthday song to her. He tried to get out of it. I guess Olive Garden doesn't "do" embarrassing birthday things like most other restaurants in their category. That wasn't going to fly with Mom...she wanted a small cake and she wanted the birthday song. Sooooo....we all sang along with Matt to spare him from the ribbing he no doubt got from his co-workers later anyway and just to please Mom. As you can see, she was happy with this arrangement.
And the birthday girl still needs a boost to get into Marie's truck for the ride home!
