School has been out for the kids since last Thursday but us library ladies had to work extra days doing inventory, etc. Today was our last day!
To celebrate the end of the school year, the four of us went out for a lovely, leisurely lunch out in old town Katy, TX. yesterday. The restaurant is called Austin 300. Most Texans know (or should know!) that this refers to the original 300 settlers that came to stake claims in Texas under the leadership of Stephen F. Austin. The restaurant owner's ancestors were among these first settlers and in Texas, that's practically royalty!!
The restaurant is in a little old house that has been altered very little over the years. None of the walls have been knocked down so there are 3 separate little dining rooms. Very quaint and cozy. The room that we sat in must've been the front parlor because there was a door in it that looked to be the old front door. It was so cool; it reminded me of being in my grandparents' house in Arp, Texas.
Best of all ~ The food was yummy. I had broccoli cheese soup (had a little "kick" in it!), pasta salad and this really cool roasted turkey sandwich with wilted spinach salad on it, cheese, and a very unique, tasty dressing. Omigosh, it was sooooo good. It was super nice to eat out with my school chums :). Our lunches while school is in session are 30 minutes, if that, crowded around a little table in our back storeroom, and punctuated by LOTS of interruptions, so this luncheon was a very special treat and the perfect beginning to our summer. I'm so looking forward to having more time at home for the next couple of months and, hopefully, getting a little more control (ha ha) of things. Famous last words.
Mmm, sounds great. I once had a boyfriend who took me to an Italian place like that. It was just this house in a row of houses in a neighborhood. Very surreal. They let you bring your own wine in. Strange, but fabulous.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds a lovely place. Your schools are out already?! Wow. We still have six weeks till the summer holidays.
