Mr. Leon's Birthday

By -

We had a party at Stoney's last weekend to celebrate our old neighbor Mr. Leon's 93rd birthday. His niece and great-niece came down from New Jersey.

It really raised Mr. Leon's spirits, especially when Attila, the Hungarian bartender who was Mr. Leon's favorite, showed up.

Enjoy your anniversary get-away.

I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
