I actually put make up on and got out of the house last night.  My father had called mid-afternoon yesterday and offered to take my family out to supper at Long Horn.  My husband was still working for the day so it was just me and my daughter at home.  Anna and I decided it might be fun to get out of the house for a bit.  My parents picked us up at about 5:45 PM.  Long Horn is only about fifteen minutes away, so it did not take us long to get there.  Our timing was great!  There was absolutely no wait time for a table.  We had a great waitress.  For an appetizer we had home made chips.  The chips had sea salt on them.  They were awesome!  My mother and I had the same thing, a fillet with blue cheese and mushrooms with a baked potato.  She had her medium-well and I had mine done the only way steaks should be cooked….rare!  Anna had a very yummy salad with chicken in it.  My father had a prime rib, but I am not sure how much he enjoyed it.  He kept getting up and going to the bar section to see some game on TV.   In fact he was gone when our main dish arrived and stayed gone for another ten minutes after it was there.  

This is how his seat looked through most of our meal…

Thanksgiving is almost here and I have decided that my husband, Anna and I will just have our Thanksgiving meal here.  I think it will be more pleasant for everyone and I am actually looking forward to cooking the meal.
