Family Day...

Today, being a holiday and all, we decided to take Shannon out for her birthday supper today, rather than her actual day tomorrow, February 19, as it will be a work day for her. We went to Sopranos.

We couldn't eat fast enough!

All the guests in the restaurant had their coats on, eating their expensive meals.  None of us could enjoy the lovely cuisine as we were dealing with frost bite and lowering blood pressure due to hypothermia.

A slight exaggeration but you get the picture.

You would think that in a country where well below freezing temperatures are a daily occurrence,  establishments would see to it that guests didn't have to endure that inside as well.  I wouldn't mind paying close to a hundred bucks in say....Jamaica...or Cuba...or some other hot place...but here in Saskatchewan?  It shouldn't happen!  Who wants to pay big bucks to eat in a refrigerator...other than those ice hotels in Scandinavia?  And even then, you'd have to pay ME to go there!

So, next time you eat out at Sopranos this winter...wear your toque, muck-lucks, mitts and fur coat.

Rant complete!

After that we came home to our apartment to thaw out and eat birthday cake.  It was a good time.

She simply becomes more and more lovely with every passing year..lovely in every way...

Happy Birthday, Shannon!
