Happy birthday McDonald’s!

We can not drive past a McDonald’s without Katelyn pointing to the Golden Arches and saying , “Fri Fry! Fri Fry!” Not that we go there that often, but she sure does like their fries! Even at QU Hawk basketball games, we’d only be there for 2-3 minutes and she would see the McDonald’s ad and point and say , “Fri Fry! Fri Fry!”

Hopefully they’ll come out with more children’s coupons soon. At Halloween & Christmas we bought a coupon book for $1. It had 12 kids coupons for free items such as fries, drinks, cookies and ice cream cones. Pretty good deal.

The Golden Arches are everywhere — and it started 50 years ago Friday, when a milkshake machine salesman opened his first McDonald’s in this Chicago suburb and began turning a small chain of hamburger stands into an empire that would include 30,000 restaurants, serve 50 million people a day, and become a symbol of the United States all over the world.
