We've always had a blast at Frannnies every time we're at the Springfield Mile and we had a great time, AGAIN.

Thank goodness they are open!!! It's high noon and we're going to the Illinois State Fair to see Def Leppard! The lot was full so we pulled in here but you can't tell they're open with the sun beaming on the windows! Saved! Pizza only but plenty of drink selections.

Happy birthday, Lori Harrison! Here is to celebrating five decades of fabulous resilience and unmatched wit. May your next half-century bring fewer headaches, much love, endless laughter, and slightly better decision-making when it comes to who you hang out with (or at least enough alcohol to cope with Trustin)! 🤪. CHEERS! 🍻 ...

Happy Birthday to the legend himself, Scottie Parker! Raise a can to the man who treats the garage like a five-star lounge. May your garage fridge never run dry and your neighbors never ask questions. Cheers to another year of dodging responsibilities and living your best life! 🍻 ...

Happy Birthday, Sandy Marshall! Whether you're hanging out with the "AG Hags", posing with a very questionable Santa, or sharing a special moment with your hubby, may your adventures always be unforgettable. Here's to your birthday being filled with lots of love, laughter, alcohol, the absolute minimum amount of adulting required by law and questionable life choices that will make for a fantastic story later. Cheers to you, Sandy! 🍻 ...
