Doug found the picture below this time...Matt, one of my other grandsons had found the picture when we were there for Suzanne's birthday dinner.
This is a picture of a my grandfather's dad...and what a surprise to see him painted on the wall of the restaurant.
We kept threatening Reva about calling the waiters over to sing Happy Birthday to her and making her wear that BIG sombrero, but we were nice to her this time...But she better watch out next year! We only let it go this year because we didn't think of it until after we got the check.
Have you ever wondered why they call it a check?...It's a bill for your meal. My guess is that maybe a long time ago, when you finished eating, you would say, "check please," and they would bring you a blank check for you to fill out and sign.
August is a big birthday month for us. We have two more birthdays coming up. Megan will be 17 years old on Tuesday, Aug. 22nd and Dennis will be 65 (and I hear looking forward to getting to use his new Medicare card) on Thursday, Aug. 24th. I don't mean he's planning on using his Medicare card on Thursday...that's when his birthday is...Thursday.

Glad you got to visit with your grandson. How cool to find a family picture in the restaurant!!!
Wow, I would have been thrilled too to find a picture of my great grandfather on a restaurant wall...how cool is that??? Glad to hear you all had such a nice time and I found it interesting your explanation about it being called a check instead of a bill...never thought of that!! lol HUGS
Have fun celebrating all those birthdays! Very interesting about your great grandpa being painted on the wall of that restaurant. Is the restaurant still owned by family?
So many birthdays!! Only a couple of August birthdays in my family...Sept is my "hardest hit" month..LOL
And a happy 65th year to Dennis..that Medicare card is a mixed blessing.
