There was a little girl who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good, she was very, very good.
But when she was bad.........
She got a fur coat, jewels, a waterfront condo, and a sports car.

Tucker wanted to have pizza for his birthday dinner so we met at Wild River Pizza in Grants Pass.

The parking lot was a lake from the rain (I didn't take this yesterday, it was on Google!), fortunately I found a place that was high and dry to park! Dinner was good.... service was great. Come to find out after I got home last night, the waitress we had, Keri, was a daughter of my BFF's friend. I know Keri's mom, Sherry. The "Mushroom Madness" hamburger I had was awesome. Just finished the other half for breakfast.

"MUSHROOM MADNESS Sautéed mushrooms,
Swiss cheese & all the fixings 11Our burgers start with a hand-formed 1/2 lb Angus beef patty grilled to perfection. Served
on our fresh baked house-made rolls with aioli dressing & spicy mustard, lettuce, tomato,
onion & pickle. Bread choice: White, Onion Cheese or Peasant Bread.
Comes with your choice of pub fries, house salad, pasta salad or cup of soup" OMG!

Here is a Smilebox of the event... Tucker's birthday present I ordered hasn't arrived yet, so he got a card and some $ for now. Birthday again next week!
