Sharing the Smiles

In honor of The Little Dog Laughed at the Desert Rose Playhouse, that wonderful restaurant, Alibi Azul, (369 N. Palm Canyon, Palm Springs) has created “The Joey English Cobb Salad” (in red, of course) and they presented it to me on Mother’s Day. It’s fabulous; go try it and support the people that support the theater!

Many thanks to Paris and George.

Joey with Paris and George at Alibi Azul. May, 2015.
