This is a napkin from ‘Toulouse Petite’, a GREAT restaurant in Seattle where we had our first meal after our arrival this morning. The single best salad I have ever had, IN MY LIFE, was eaten there. It was a Yellow Beet and Haricort Vert salad with Nicoise olives and Stilton Cheese. YUM in the extreme! The rest of the meal was almost equally out of this world!
But what made it even more special was this tattoo.
I noticed it on our waitress and I told Caitlin and Linda I bet it was a Boeing airplane. I knew that Boeing is one of the biggest employers in Seattle so I had a feeling there might be a connection. Sure enough, when I asked the waitress if it was she said “Yes, my grandparents met at Boeing. They carpooled to work, that is how they met.” I asked if that was why she had the tattoo done and it was.
I love that! This young, hip, trendy, cool waitress had honored her grandparents relationship and love in a wonderfully creative way for all the world to see.
It made the meal all the better.
