Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad

My siblings came home this morning, and we all met up downtown for dinner to celebrate not one, but TWO wedding anniversaries!

My parents and Erick's in-laws share the same anniversary, it seems. The parents were surprised today with a get-together at Poogan's Porch. Poogan's Porch is a famous Southern Cuisine restaurant not only known for its food, but for it's history.

The house was sold along with the owner's dog, Poogan, and was transformed into a restaurant. After Poogan's death, customers have stated that they have felt "something" brushing up against them during their visits. Hmmmm? But, wait...there's more!....

An old school teacher and spinster, once resided in that house long before the restaurant was born. It is said that employees leaving their work at night could see her in the house, waving. She has also been known to move things about in the kitchen. There is also another ghost, a gentleman, who is known to make appearances in this same building. Although he is described as a "friendlier" ghost, it's still a little spooky to think that there are souls wandering that place....

I thought that server looked a little odd....

Yeah I actually thought the servers and runners were the ghosts cos they all seemed dead to me. Our guy certainly could have used a little personality. Everyting went over pretty well considering how fast we put it together. Sorry I couldnt hang out more!
