OLDIES BUT GOODIES


I love to eat at nostalgic places. Dick's Drive-In in Seattle, Burger Master in Bellevue or how about Kid Valley?

I remember having my birthday at Ferrel's. That was an event! Of course, there is Chuck E. Cheeses and Vips. I grew up in Bothell and a friend of mine's family still owns the Ranch Drive-In. I used to get a corn dog, cherry drink (don't offer them any longer) and a dipped cone. MMmmm! Thanks for the memories, Roslyn.

My dad took me for coffee and a hot butterhorn every morning at Alexander's Coffee Shop in Bothell. He always offered me coffee but I opted for hot chocolate, at least in my early years. Those are still the best butterhorns I've tasted.

Okay, one more...when both of my parents were going to church (that's a story in and of itself), we went out for donuts at a little bakery in downtown Bothell. My brother and I could down the apple fritters even though they were as large as our heads!


Do you have any favs that are still around? Maybe a memory?

MOM'S DAY IS AROUND THE CORNER


This is for everyone with a mom or a mother figure. Mom's day is around the corner. Plan ahead and bless her socks off!

Get her a gift card to Gene Juarez or another spa. Find out her nail salon and get a gift certificate. Try Merry Maids or another house cleaning service and give her the day off.

Maybe she would like to race some go-carts around Traxx in Mukilteo.

Or take her to her favorite restaurant (Daniel's Broiler, The Metropolitan Grill, Anthony's) or maybe it's Dick's Drive-In. Make her breakfast in bed. Clean the house. Do the dishes. Pick up your own dishes.

Clean her car. Give her a Starbuck's gift card and then watch the kids so she can sit with a friend or two and be a girlfriend.

Did I say Nordstrom gift card? Think twice before you purchase her that washer or vaccum she has been asking for. You may be "asking for it" if you do.

Send her flowers.

Whatever you do, make her feel special. Plan it now and avoid the rush. Besides, the good cards are usually gone the week before.
