Good Morning...up until I opened the grill, I made every special day extra special. ..,,,, beautiful hand made Easter baskets for my boys with a new outfit for each. Halloween they had the cutest candy sack and adorable costume and being my Valentine was a must with candy, some little trinket, dinner and whatever else they wanted. Flash forward to the grill opening and well let's just say it all went downhill and I never have received the mom of the year award again. A few years ago , when Taylor was a senior, I walked into a dark kitchen early on the morning of February 14th, stumbling half a sleep to make my coffee I turn on the light and low and behold the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. I squealed with delight .." Oh he did so good and yes precious.." He made me feel special after all these years. As I am walking out the door to the grill I don't want to leave his beautiful flowers behind, so I grab them, buckle them into the back seat and off I went. I brought them into the grill & proudly displayed them on the bar...... ummm, yes for all to see. 7:00 am rolls around and my phone starts barking( Taylor's ring) I answer and immediately say..." Oh Taylor thank you for the flowers , they are beautiful ".... But he didn't hear a word I said because in panic mode he is saying "oh my gosh mom, have you seen Mindy 's flower's.....oops!!!!!!!"... Happy beautiful Friday & happy Valentines day.... Who in the heck is Mindy was my first thought and then I burst out laughing ..... The flowers were for the young lady Taylor had just started dating..... & they were as beautiful as she was. I then realized he would not be valentine anymore ..... He had grown up. ........ I told Taylor that morning " just bring her to lunch and she can enjoy "our" flowers & yep the eye rolling started...... & the "oh my gosh mom".......yep just one of my favorite memories. I hope you all have a beautiful special day .....a day full of making memories that you can share with pure joy & laughter.
BTW.... Mindy may have thought I was crazy but all these years later .... She still stuck with us💌 Happy Valentines y'all

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

AuthorI opened the Cast Iron Grill in October 2007. Lots of changes have happened in the last 5 1/2 years. The CIG started with 55 seats in an office building located at 18th and K. After five years, we were bursting at the seams with now 167 seats, and 24 wonderful co-workers working on top of eachother to make it happen. 2012 the Lord chose a different journey for the CIG. We relocated the CIG and opened our doors on January 2nd, 2013, just four blocks away from the old location! It has changed my world completely! All of these stories are the happenings of the people and the joy and celebration that make the CIG what it is. Archives
