My mother and I
went to IHOP today
for the first time in over a year;
this isn't the first time we've been to a resturant
in over a year,
just the first time we've been to IHOP this year.

Today we ordered
the country fried steak;
there are only two restaurants in Las Vegas
that has good country fried steaks;
one is Blueberry Hill Family Resturant
and the other is IHOP
(I'm not referring to casino restaurant/coffee houses).

We went to IHOP today
order the country fried steak dinner,
salads with blue cheese dressing
and coffee.
but no desert.

IHOP used to be called
the International House of Pancakes,
but now it's just IHOP.

We went to IHOP today
I parked in the handicapped parking,
hung the blue placard from my rear view mirror,
got Mom's walker out of the backseat
and Mom out of the front seat;
then we walked up the ramp
and went into the restaurant.
