Here are this week’s questions:

The theme this week is Dining Out:
1. Do you prefer bar food, a restaurant, cafe or tea rooms?I prefer a restaurant where you can sit down, relax, and be waited on.

2. Do you always have the same thing, or try something different from time to time? Since I only eat in a restaurant maybe once every couple of months I choose a known place. My favorite here in town is Olive Garden and lasagna.

3. Have you ever had to send something back to the kitchen because it was sub standard? I wouldn’t send it back, I’d just not eat it. Most wait people don’t make much except tips. If you’ve ever done that job, you always tip. If it’s horrible, you can write something on the receipt.

4. If you have a complaint, do you make it in writing after you have left, or before you settle your bill? Answered above

Gratitude this week is for my two month old great grandson who is now about eight pounds and smiling❤️.

He never thought his theft from the museum would be a big deal. It was just a set of perfume bottles his mother admired. The perfumes were pure, but taking them up from their placed display, an exposed smell began to waft around him. Just a moment in time he was suddenly the center of attention, and the guards were called. He was taken away immediately.

Living Poetry – Under the Cushions

“It wasn’t me honest, I didn’t even see it.”

“What?”

“This donut? Is that what you’re talking about?”

“Well, you see dad was making breakfast and he happened to drop the box of donuts.”

“While he was rounding them up for the kids, this one just rolled over to the couch and under the cushions”.

“I know, weird, huh? I don’t suppose you need this one, because it was the thirteenth in the baker’s dozen…uh…”. Puts his head down on his paws and looks up sincerely, pleadingly…

–

donuts will roll like a wheel with a hole

careful paw hides what is seen

under cushions sneaked meal

“Yup, Henry, I see it, right there in the right hand corner!”

“Uh, you’re looking in the mirror, it’s up in the left corner”. Henry didn’t mean to be condescending, it was just an innocent remark, but to Mimi, it was a criticism. Mimi was on the verge of asking Henry for a divorce. Nothing was the same after five years of marriage. Mimi thought her brother was right, she and Henry should have lived together before they made it official. The now seemingly loveless union needed to end.

“Well, wherever it is, it needs to be fixed, now!” Mimi left and went to the grocery store. Henry was baffled, but she was right, the crack was getting bigger. He also left, for the hardware store.

It’s doubtful a crack could be the final straw, but it was.

Many a time on the highway

Finding a phone on a byway

Was a difficult task

And if you asked

The owner of an accompanied store

They’d look at you and shrug, bored

The outside booths we’d prefer

Noisy but caused no burr

Now if you see them, it is rare

Which is sad ‘cause some people have the fare

But no cell or service wherever there

Paying for everything with a card,

Change for a phone may be hard

To find.

So if you’re traveling here and there, better opt for a cell phone while you’re somewhere.
