May 20, 2018. Madison, Mississippi. A New Restaurant.

We enjoy going to newly opened restaurants. Cantina Laredo opened in Jackson in a newly built area just off Interstate 55. The street address is not known to anyone because it is a newly named street. The two new restaurants are in an office complex that we have noted as construction was going on but we had to use the GPS to get us there. Christina mentioned the two new places so after looking up the menus, I selected the Mexican restaurant, Cantina Laredo. The other is Fine & Dandy which we will check out next time. Today we 7 celebrated birthdays. We had not given gifts to Kate or Mary Frances on their birthdays so today they finally received their gifts. They enjoyed continuing their birthday celebration. And we celebrated Abigail's 19th birthday. Three of us toasted her with our margaritas. The food and service was excellent and we sat at a round table in the bay window all by ourselves, which pleased me. Our lunch was festive. Only once did Ken tear up when we were speaking of Andrew. How we miss him still. Kate and Mary Frances sing in the adult choir so must attend the 11:00 service. No more early brunch for us. This new restaurant is a fine addition to Jackson. They advertise themselves as modern Mexican food. I will agree. I had never before tasted this food but we all enjoyed our meals. And we certainly enjoyed each other.
