Thanks for treating me to dinner at Mukilteo Ivar’s

On Sunday night I decided to treat my self to dinner at Ivar’s Landing in Mukilteo. I had a great time. Great services and a great night.

When I ask the waitress for my check she said it was all taking of.

“What do you mean?” I asked. Somebody in the restaurant brought you dinner, she told me.

I was surprised. I just want to you thank that person so much. God bless you and your family.
