Applebees near I-96 & Okemos Road in Okemos
We’ve been good all week. I’ve made dinner every night and we haven’t eaten out since last Saturday. Before J left for work today, I asked if she wanted me to pick her up for dinner. Of course, she said yes.

The hostess that opened the door finally grabbed a couple menus and showed us to a booth in the dining room that is to the left of the bar. Read the rest of this entry »
