A.O.C.

A.O.C.

After a somewhat grueling week for both Gretchen and me, we decided we needed some time off from our busy schedules. Gretchen suggested lunch, so yesterday I made a 1pm rsvp at A.O.C. thru Open Table. We had tried going there once before a couple of months…

Tonight, Gretchen invited me to have dinner with her and her son, Sean, who was in town from Nashville. Her friend had recommended The Bellwether so she wanted to check it out. We had actually tried going there once before, but they were closed which…

Sally Kellerman
