Hey there Andrea Case...this is your old friend debbie bloom.
I have not talked to you in ages but have kept up with you thru others. Sounds like you've been very busy and very successful. I've been with Moe's Southwest Grill for a little over 2 years as the Director of Training and love it. We were bought out by "FOCUS Brands" in September - they own Schlotzsky's, Carvel, Cinnabon and Seattles Best Coffee International. I work with some really great people and I love my job. I see that you've been keeping up with Laurie. Matter of fact, I saw her and Steve Baker at a CHART conference in Pheonix about a year ago. Let me know how you're doing and would love to get together sometime. Definetly let me know if Laurie ever gets down this way...she probably stays very busy with all those stores that they took over. WOW - Applebee's sure has changed over the last couple of years. I heard that Steve Grove sold his franchise to a company out of Poland?? We just hired a girl that was in the training department for Apple Grove...she filled me in on the latest gossip. Stay in touch...debbie
It's that time of year...I need to see some tennis photos of you in action!
I am out of shape and haven't been on the court since November. I started road biking to build up the legs again before getting on the court in a few weeks.
