Well, last night the power stayed on, the snow started falling as we left for our dinner at the KEG! It was delicious as per our usual 1 time per year outing to the Keg (thank you for your year of Safety at your old company Cliff!) How ironic to be using 2 gift cards from the old company to celebrate an ending and a new beginning! We spent a good 2 hours in the restaurant! We started in the bar with a great glass of wine (make mine KEG size please!!) and some crab and artichoke dip!
Then, at table came up, and we were moved to a cozy table and had our meal. Another glass of wine please! (make mine a KEG size please!!) Cliff had prime rib with goat cheese and crushed pecans on top with a garlic mash side dish and a grilled parmesan tomato. I even tried a bite of his meat! I don't think I have really EVER had steak. It was surprising good, but I know I would not want to eat a whole piece! But yay me for trying it.
I had my annual terriyaki chicken, wild rice and grilled parm tomato too. We also enjoyed the warm sourdough bread with whipped butter. To top off the evening we shared a delicious piece of Billy Miner pie. That is an ice cream pie with fudge and caramel drizzle, sliced almonds and an oreo crust!!! YUMMY.
The night was great! We talked and talked and talked. Laughed, reminisced, laughed, discussed our past, present and future and did so without interruptions! It was a great night out. We headed to the local Chapters to walk around and digest our lovely filling meal.
We got back home, all of the kids were in bed...it was great! A nice memory! No more KEG gift cards, no more fun overnight Christmas parties anymore. I will miss that, but I feel happy for Cliff and his new job!
He starts Monday! not too bright and early either! That is good because my husband is not a MORNING person...and for the past 10 years he has had to be a morning person! He will have his own truck and phone by Friday! Yay Cliff! I am so happy for him.

Yay for you two! Yay for Cliff!! So happy for you all :) You deserve only the best!
C&C, the night sounded divine. How appropriate as you said, that the gift cards from B were used to celebrate endings and new beginnings. We couldn't be happier for any of you. And who knows, how the C of A will celebrate Christmas! And in closing--meat touched your lips and did you say crab in the dip? This truly is a new beginning. So glad you had a lovely time and that it wasn't slated for tonight! xxxxooo
Cynthia: Thank you! We had a LOVELY night
Mom: Yes, your girl is trying new things (it is about time right!!!) New beginnings. A new year, a new life this year!! A bright future xo
Listen closely . . . Can you hear my hands clapping madly for you? They are, xxxooo
