JJ’s Cafe

Our brand new 4th grade neighbor suggested we have brunch this past Sunday at JJ's Café in Lake Highlands. They have a buffet for $10, which should make everyone happy. Shiny glasses, bottles of champagne, and orange juice are sitting in the corner waiting for people who do not have cancer to turn the ingredients into a glorious mimosa.
