I thought I would share a couple of our moments together with you!
When we first moved into our house 11 years ago, we were looking for a local “pizza place” which was nice and which we knew we would visit often! We came across “Luigi’s”. We had a lovely meal and P still says they make the BEST beef lasagne in Johannesburg! While we were having our meal that night, the owner, Alec, came to table. He remarked on the fact that we had not been there before and welcomed us. He told P that if we came again, and he couldn’t remember our names, the meal would be on him! Needless to say, we had a stunning evening and a week later were back! Alec came up to the table and said “Nice to see you again! Gee! Pity I don’t remember your name!” We chatted to him and as he got up to leave he looked at P and said,”Well P, it was lovely seeing you again!” Haha! So the meal wasn’t on him afterall. Luigi’s has been our local ever since – in fact Alec call’s us his “first best customers!”
Alex’s special request on Friday night, being her last night before going home, was to go to Luigi’s for dinner. Here the girls are being silly and of course the staff, who know us so well, by the time we are seated, our drinks are waiting for us on the table! LOL!

Remember I told you we were going to a quiz evening? We did and we had fun! However, “Happy Families” (the name we gave our team) was a tiny team of 4 – the other teams had between 10 and 12 members! We came LAST – that’s right! But we did have a lot of fun and we were presented with feather dusters to “dust up our knowledge!”

We had a lovely time – now looking forward to the week-end!

Sounds like you had a couple of fun evenings. We once had a favorite resturant where we lived and a favorite watress there. She would prepare our drinks as soon as she saw us get out of the car. She remembered how we liked our salad, too. It makes one feel so special when one is remembered like that at a resturant.

Love the feather duster idea, very clever!
Is that the Luigi's on B.Naude? Haven't been there for years - the Lasagne was always my favourite! Need to go back!
You have such great family fun! - love the dusters!!
love that you have a Regular pizza joint. that is cool. So far we do not have a place that is "our place" to eat. I think I'd like that feeling. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for Luigi update! We've never been to the Boskruin one - well, now we should! There's a take-away place in our little Honey Junction centre - wonder if it's also as good. Never had from there either (we seldom have take-aways though). Col Cachio (spelling?) - World Wear Centre is good for pizza! :)
You guys have so much fun as a family. I hope that one day when our kids are bigger that we would be able to do the same.
