Girls' Night Out

Here we are having one last hurrah at Schimmel's to celebrate Julie and Laura's next career adventure. Absent is Laura, who's taking the pic. We had steak and 'tinis. OK, some had 'tinis. Since Jean andI (seated) are preggers, we couldn't partake in the liquor.

THE GUESTS OF HONOR
Notice that Laura and Julie are wearing their party shirts. Good luck to both of you. I'm feeling a little lump in my throat. Don't cry, Laura!

Jean and Emily are preparing to order their red meat and salads soaked in creamy dressing. Actually, we all ordered the same thing, with minor variations, much to the delight of our waiter who said we were the easiest table he's served.

We even had the same fattening desserts ... a warm brownie with peanut butter ice cream covered in fudge sauce. The calories were worth every bite.
