Last week, mom and the ladies {Patti, Julie, & Kim} spent an afternoon in the city {they'd never been to UVillage!} before meeting up with me for drinks and dinner. I always love having visitors over, and it's so fun to show off my 'hood to people who have never been. Since the weather was a little drizzly, we headed into Magnolia Village, where we started off with drinks at Oliver's Twist {you really can never go wrong there}. After a quick drink, we headed over to my fave, Mondello, where we were treated like queens in the otherwise quiet restaurant. The owner/waiter is apparently a friend of the ladies' favorite restaurateur up north, and once he realized we knew "Alberto" we immediately received the best service {including free dessert and a note in Italian to take back to Alberto}. It was such a fun evening showing these special ladies one of my most favorite neighborhood spots, where you always feel like family and keep coming back time and time again. I think they're ready for another visit :)
