Yep - me.
She said that I'll always be fun and she loves to spend time with me.
I needed to hear that at the end of a couple of weeks that seem to have taken on a life of their own.
Stacia and I left home early to go to a new favorite spots of ours. We've been determined to explore OUR AREA - rather than driving to the bigger towns nearby.
This determination led us to find Duke's Diner last week. Duke's has been family owned since 1962. It's close to home. It's a hole in the wall - but we like it. The waitress knows everyone's name - but ours - maybe in time? They have a lunch counter. Everyone's friendly. We see a lot of good, ole' normal folks - of all varieties and we love it.
Stacia said Awful Annie's is her first choice and from all the spots we've been Duke's Diner is her second choice. That's pretty good.
We were so impressed last Saturday a.m. we took the kids to lunch here on Sunday. We got a kick out of a young boy who walked in, looked around, and said, "My WHOLE LIFE I've wanted to eat in a restaurant like this." He was enamored with the lunch counter. There aren't a lot of vegan options - but there is a salad...and it was a good salad.
The others loved their super burgers and chicken.
"We've" also had oatmeal, French toast, and crepes. All has been yummy....
Today they brought Stacia's hot chocolate with sprinkles on it. ::grin::
Directly across from Duke's is a Hispanic Produce market. I remembered the produce terminal in San Antonio - also in the Hispanic section of town - and I had great hope I'd found another treasure. Um....not so much. There wasn't a lot of produce inside...some but not a lot....
And in the midst of it all - she told me I'm fun! She loves spending time with me. I always find interesting things to do. Sweet words indeed.
