The Seven Year Itch

Last weekend Tammy and I celebrated our 7th anniversary. (We got married on the 22nd but last weekend was the best time for us to get away.) It has been somewhat of a tradition since we moved to DFW to spend our anniversary at St. Botolph Inn in Weatherford. It’s a really nice place and they have two rooms that feature a full-sized hot tub in the room.

That night we were cruising Weatherford for a nice, romantic place to eat. We found a quaint looking Italian place. Inside we were reminded why we will never live in a small town again.

I’ve never experienced red-neck Italian before. On the walls I saw a framed poster of Venice at night (like you might find at Hobby Lobby), a watercolor painting of a palm tree on a beach (probably a school art project), and two paintings of cowboys and cattle, framed in old barn wood and barbed wire. The front of the menu had the name of the restaurant in a script font and, twice as big as the name and in bold letters, “BYOB”. (I swear I am not making this up.) I said to Tammy, “That just means they don’t have their liquor license yet, so they can’t serve wine.” The words were barely out of my mouth when three couples were seated at the table across from ours. One of them was carrying a beer can in a “koosie” and another was carrying an old Igloo cooler. The only thing missing was a camouflaged, John Deere hat and a Dale Earnheart Jr. jacket.

The food was actually pretty good and the ruckus party with the Igloo made for some good entertainment.

After a wonderful evening and morning at the bed and breakfast, we headed back to the big city and had some real fine Italian cuisine… Olive Garden.
