The White House

A few weeks ago Susan and I spent a Saturday afternoon helping one of Susan's friends, Kay, learn how to use her new digital camera. To thank us, Kay took us out to lunch today at The White House. The White House is a cafe and Bed and Breakfast that is located just a few blocks from North Star where Susan works. Today's lunch at The White House was a special event because the proceeds are going to Children's Village, which happens to be located right across the street.

Children's Village works to connect children with special needs and their families to supportive services. They opened for business in October of 1997 and since then over 16,000 children and their families have entered for services. Mental health resources, drop-in child care and parent help are just a few of the services provided.

The table setting was so pretty, I just had to take a picture of it before we sat down to eat.

While we could order off the menu, all three of us decided on the event menu. Everything was beautiful and delicious. In addition to everything you see here, we each received a cupcake that we all took home because we were too full to eat it after the incredible chicken salad.

I wish more people needed help with their digital cameras and would take us out to lunch like Kay did. We both felt very special.

Susan and I went to a new kitchen store after lunch and then went to the track to try and walk off some of the extra calories we ate for lunch. What a great day and to top it all off, it was 65 degrees today.
