SHE SAYS:
The other evening we had a wonderful night out at Alpine Village, specifically we were going to check out Oktoberfest … though things didn’t end up quite like that.
Thank goodness we are both good company … lol … because we had to wait quite a while for a server. Granted the place was busy due to Oktoberfest, but the servers sure took their time getting around. I have to admit that the food was excellent thought. Mike had the Tyrolian Chicken, which looked delicious … and I had the Knackwurst which was fantastic. And, Mike decided we should have some wine with the meal … a relaxing Merlot.
I know we left Mike’s place around 6:30, and it wasn’t until around 8 that we finally got our bill. The first time we requested the bill our server came back with some Apple Strudel instead!
Once we had finished our dinner we walked down toward the area where they had the Oktoberfest event going on. Looking in though, it didn’t look too interesting and we decided to head home.
On the way back to Mike’s place, he got a case of “happy hands” while we were in the car (which I didn’t mind …
) at a stoplight. Suddenly a woman in the car next to us pulls further forward and yells out, “You two look like a happy couple!” … I just looked and smiled … to then see the passenger giving a thumbs up. I had to laugh after they left our side … it was just so unexpected.
When we got back to Mike’s place we decided to relax and enjoy each other’s company … to add to it we also saw “Four Friends” which I have to admit was a great movie.
All in all it was a wonderful evening. It was a relaxing day compared with the hectic nature throughout the week.

Dear Liz,
Sorry I haven’t commented earlier. I was so disappointed in the service, but if we ever eat there again, it will be in the restaurant and not the bar. I always feel bad when I am not “familiar” with the restaurant and they take forever to serve.
I’ll try to pick a better “date” for us this weekend. Glad you liked the movie. It’s always been a favorite, and I only recently found it on DVD. “Four Friends” is one of those films that I had in my first CED videodisc collection back in the 80s.
Hmmmm. Happy Hands.
Love,
Michael
