Who’s Up for Drover’s?

Every six weeks or so, one of the girls and, yes, it’s usually Marilyn,sends an e-mail out to our fellow staff membershere at Bordas & Bordas about getting together to get something to eat at Drover’s Inn and Restaurant and to (invariably) talk and talk and talk. Not everyone makes it each and every time there is a get-together but it only takes two to say, “I’m in.”   I think the anticipation of going is high and since it is usually a week in advance, or more, that this get’s set into motion, someone usually mentions it by asking who’s going, when are we going and then counting down the days.

Some of us drive alone but others take turns at car-pooling but once we’re on our way it seems to be non-stop talking to the restaurant, while we’re at the restaurant and even on our way home.  Since our favorite haunt is Drover’s in Wellsburg which takes about 35 minutes or so to get to from Wheeling, there is a lot of chatting going on during our evening out.

Once at Drover’s, each of us has our favorite appetizer which we share amongst us.  Some order the exact same thing every time we’re there.  Some of us relax with a drink or two.  A couple of us always have quite a substantial take-out bag stashed in the trunk on the way home.  Mine is for my hungry guys waiting for me to get there.

So whether at Drover’s or some other local restaurant, whether it’s a small group of us where the conversation flows on and on, or a larger group with many different conversations happening all at once which can get a little loud—sometimes very loud—it’s always a good time and so much fun!!   And for those of us who share a ride with Becky, the evening is topped off with something frozen from the Dairy Queen.

So, here’s to a great group of girls, lots of chatter, our favorite food, Ellie’s good health and the next, Who’s Up for Drover’s?
