[Great Hall of Rockwall] Field trip dining question

[Karen Boomgaarden]

It's looking more likely that we will be able to attend.

Lorriedel, I would like to accept your kind offer of tickets. That will 
help quite a bit. Thank you and Daniel for that, very much.

Sack lunch sounds like the best option from here. I have stuff I can 
pack for that.

Kids-ride-free is a Good Thing(tm). That just leaves her bus fare, not 
so bad, really.

I see Subway listed; if it's still there, I'm all good. A Subway Club 
salad with their fat-free vinaigrette, and I'm SO there. :-)

Here's hoping things continue on the present course, so we can go. And 
if not, as I said--someone stand in front of the Seurat for a bit, and 
the Chagall stained glass as well, please. Thanks. :-)
