Let’s Eat-Part 6

SUNDAY MEMORIES

Judy Wills

Well, as I write this, today is my birthday!  I wanted something special for today, so I asked Fred to take me to one of the “Breakfast, Brunch & Lunch” eateries in our neighborhood – and he complied with that request!  I actually don’t remember eating in one of those types of places before, but perhaps we have.  In any case, it was a GREAT start to my day.

Every time we drive by Keke’s Breakfast Cafe, the parking lot of absolutely FULL of cars!  We know they don’t take reservations, so we decided we needed to be there when they open – at 7:00 a.m.!  We did just that, and we were the very first customers!  By 8:00 a.m. there were a few other customers, but not too many.  So next time (if there is another time, as this is a fairly pricy place to eat!), we’ll wait until 8:00 a.m. to get there.  The eatery closes at 2:00 p.m.

Our server seated us, told us his name is Chris, and he would get us anything we wanted.  Really nice guy, and a great server.  He brought our drinks and gave us time to peruse the menu.  I ordered a 3-egg omelet (veggie – tomatoes, onions, mushrooms).  It came with home fries and toast.

I shared some of the omelet with Fred as well as the home fries.  Fred ordered a Belgian Waffle with fresh blueberries and tons of whipped cream!  He shared some of that with me.

Add some blueberries to this, and you have Fred’s breakfast

I told Chris that today is my birthday and he was all “happy birthday” to me.  I said, “and I’m sure you don’t want to ask my age, hm?”  At first he was like “no” and then said, “you know, I also work as an EMT at a retirement facility, so I think I’ll try to guess your age.”  He studied my face, then slowly said, “perhaps… around…68?”  I said, “you are so sweet!” and then told him my age, and his mouth dropped open!  He complimented both Fred and me at how good and young we look, compared to our actual age.  See, all that exercising does some good after all!

When I think of my actual age…when I look in the mirror…when my knees and feet hurt…I think to myself “how in the world did I ever get to be this age???”  And yet, I thank God for His great blessing to me and for giving me life, and the life I, and with Fred, have lived.  We are, indeed, blest.

Today, I am 83 years old.
