Best of State

For the third year in a row the Brick House Cafe has won best of state for local diner.  We learned this news a few weeks back and tonight was the awards dinner.  I made the drive up north to be there.  It was a good time.  Got to hang out with the folks for the dinner as well as two more couples on our table who also won for different things.  One of the couples were neighbors with Jim and Clo at BYU.  Thought that was cool. 

Anyhow, I got to go up and be awarded the medal.  A very attractive woman put it around my neck and I said "what, no kiss?".  Yep, no kiss.  Little known fact.  Once you have your medallion you go to the back where you take off the medallion, put it in a basket to be used again on stage.  Then you pick up a packet that has a medallion inside of it.  Wonderful.  It was good to go.  Saw my friend from Sonny Boys BBQ up there after their 4th win.  Anyway, good food, good entertainment and good company.  Maybe we need to win again next year. 

I did get to stop off at Jay and Sara's this afternoon on my way up.  Had a great visit with them.  It was a reminder of the old days when we were neighbors and how nice it was to walk next door and be able to hang out. 

Well, it was a long day of driving and I am ready to call it a day.  Time to go crash out for a few hours anyway.
