Thursday Portrait.......






Hi Everybody...
The dealership was Abuzz today!
The President of GM's North American Operations Mark Ruess paid us a visit!
The second pic is Mr. Ruess standing in front of a Portrait of our founder Vic Canever, along with our current owner Richard Canever.
Oh he didn't come alone...This guy had a entourage worthy of any NBA Superstar.
Funny thing...As they were getting ready to leave, his personal secretary wanted to know where the closest Applebee's was located. Something about their menu that had 5 new items for under a certain amount of calories...Hmmmmmm.
That reminds me..........

    Applebees is a cool place to eat... i love the decor and laid back atmosphere..and always great service in the one where I live.. (and LOW prices)..

    They have the super low calorie menu.. too..

    I ate in so-called FANCY places too....so I know the different.. but nice to kick back in an Applebee...

    However, nothing beats HOME COOKING... the best food is at HOME..

    Never a big fan of Applebee's, but the menu enticed me into thinking of other things. Hmmmmm....what could it be?

    Oh ~ I remember! And since it's already Friday in Italy...I can share it :-)
