Short Blog Break

I'll be taking a short blog break to enjoy some family time. Have a Happy New Year when it comes!

One thing I learned yesterday from a friend whose wife is a nurse is that women with tattoos on their back cannot have epidurals (used for childbirth)  because the ink might cause an infection wherever the needle has to go (spine?)  Well, that is the belief in Canada anyway.  I went on snopes to investigate this and it seems some radiologists are refusing to perform MRI's on people with tattoos as certain inks may be harmful to the skin.  I'm glad I don't have any tattoos.

Anyway, enjoy these photos I took when M and I lunched recently at a new Panera Bread cafe.  Their food is fresh, healthy and absolutely delicious!  Their bread is unquestionably fresh-baked.  We really enjoyed their caffe latte.

In our area Panera is called St. Louis Bread Company-the chain started here. I agree they have great food.

Panera is one of my daughter's favorite restaurants. We don't have it in Hawaii yet. I hope you're enjoying your family time, Christine. Have a very happy new year!
