McAlister's Deli on Marsh Road in Okemos
It’s not very often that J and I make appointments for the early afternoon, but today, we had something to do in Okemos around one o’clock. Our appointment wasn’t going to take long, so we decided we could squeeze lunch in after what we needed to do and before she needed to go to work.
