It’s Iowa. Expect the unexpected.

I celebrated a birthday the other night at Bravo Cucina Italiana at Jordan Creek. When the server found out, I got the special treatment – gelato dessert with wafer and candle. The Purple Wren and I might have been drooling a little when two people neither of us knew came up to the table – a young mother and her 3 year old daughter. The mother quietly said that her daughter wanted to say something to me. When the mom said it was OK, the 3 year old began to sing, “Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Dee Dee, Happy Birthday to you.” The gelato was excellent, but the song was better. That’s Iowa for you.
