‘lots of good, cheap food, and dozens of beers’

celebrating four family birthdays
12 to 73 years old
at casey’s tavern
neighborhood favorite
historic building
once a lumberyard
casual, relaxed, friendly
nothing fancy
eclectic menu
we were happy, loud, full, laughing
a win for the day and a win for the birthdays.

Four birthdays at one celebration sounds like my kind of night out! I bet it was great.
Best wishes, Pete.

I love this! And sometimes a tavern with everyday food and drink is the best place to celebrate…keep that jukebox going!
