Good Morning Darlings!

I was fortunate to be gifted with a lovely evening of dining at STK Atlanta and seeing Thomas Dolby at The Loft on Monday night.

Oh, what a wonderful time we had. Our server was Fred and he took the most amazing care of us. Hakim, the manager, was most charming as well.

Would you like a glimpse?

Come on in…
