Artist Barbara Jones once said, “Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap”. In that spirit, please enjoy complimentary cookies at Park Place every Tuesday in the month of September.
