Date Night – Babushkas
We have spent a lot of time in Russia. So, when we noticed BABUSHKAS on Facebook it was a must try. This family run restaurant is located by USF in Tampa. The food was better than we remember in the actual Russia. The service was friendly and fun. The restaurant had a small village feeling. This is defiantly a fun experience for a DATE NIGHT. Visit soon. https://www.babushkas.us/ https://www.facebook.com/babushkas.usSUNday

You Just Can Not Make This UP
Our good friend Miss Joey Brooks is quite the hoot!!! One time she was at the Big Flea Market dressed as a boy. Walking past one booth there was a beautiful painting of Dolly Parton. Joey stopped and asked how much? The guy told Joey. Hum … Joey says “A lot of people say I look just like her” The guy starts to laugh RIGHT! Joey says “If I prove it to you will you give me a big discount?” The guy says yes and Joey shows him a photo of her as Dolly Parton. The painting is in Joeys home today. LMAO We could tell a lot more stories about Joey but read them yourself in her book Joey Brooks “The Show Must Go On” https://www.amazon.com/Joey-Brooks-Show-Must-Go/dp/1312684844

You Just Can Not Make This Up
In 1980 one of the first people, we meet in Tampa was our friend Steve. Over the years we have been close friends with him and his parents. Shortly after I started to bartend at The Show Bar Ybor City, Steve & Mom stopped by one Sunday. Mom’s hair and jewelry were perfect, wearing a new cocktail dress and designer sunglasses. After 2 scotch and waters Mom told me that she liked the new bar and the DJ. Then wishing me the best they left. Mom had just turned 101 years old. WOW… What a beautiful person and life.
