So tonight at the restaurant, I was talking to my favorite Lamplighter employee, Dinah. I've known her ever since I can remember, and she's always been really generous with my brothers and I. More than that, she's the only employee I can say is "close" with my Dad....and will let me know when he's not feeling well or even what he wants for Christmas. :)
Anyway, today she told me a story that happened earlier this afternoon. The health inspector came for a regularly scheduled visit. She checked everything, and toured the building with my Dad. Once she was done, they had this conversation in the dining room, which Dinah overheard:
Health Inspector Lady (HIL): Well Dan, everything looks great! I'll be back to see you in a few months.
Papa Ferri (PF): Okay.....But don't come see me in May.
HIL: Ummm...okay? Why?
PF: My daughter's getting married in May.
HIL: Oh, how exciting! Does she know where she'll have the wedding?
PF: This place called Springwood. It's in Verona.
HIL: Wow, Daniel. That's really exciting for you!
....conversation probably carried on, but that was the important part.
So, let's review:
1. It's not exactly protocol to tell the health inspector when a visit would be convenient for you. Visits are scheduled depending on the month, and how well you passed the last time. Not to mention, it is standard for them to do surprise visits, unscheduled.
2. No, I did not set a date yet.
3. While I did really like Springwood, I had not officially said that's where I'll have the wedding.
The good news is: my Dad is involved! And apparently likes Springwood enough to announce that's where it will be held.
All in all, great news for me....since I loved Springwood :)
