Happy New Year!!! Tina and I want to wish everyone a blessed 2008. I know everyone says it, but I just can't believe that January is already here! Wow!

Each season Tina, David, Tim and I celebrate the end of the season with a really nice dinner out. We try and pick a place that no one has been to before and probably wouldn't go to unless it was a really special occasion. We've been to Papa Bros. Steakhouse, Houston's, Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill in Las Vegas, but this season's choice tops the list. We are huge fans of Bravo's "Top Chef" tv show. This past season's show included two Dallas chefs, one of them Tre Wilcox from Abacus.

So, Abacus was our "Top Choice" for a celebratory dinner. It was so fabulous. The service was great. The food was outstanding. The risotto...oh my word! But the icing on the cake was when Tre came to our table and asked how our meal was. He introduced himself...as if we didn't know (!)...and then preceded to talk to us about our choices for the night. I tend to be a little starstruck, so it was the perfect ending to a great year for Divine Consign.

We hope your 2007 ended on a happy note as well. May God bless you and your family in 2008.
