Why I Love This Town

Here is a good reason for feeling a part of this Place, after 4 1/2 years; we can go sit in The Waffle Shop, way in the corner in the back room and both Alba and Santos will seek us out and give us hugs. It was so cool to see Santos get out from the kitchen and when Rod mentioned that our son, Erik, had been a cook (later, a fancy shmancy pastry chef) with burn scars to prove it, we got the entire story of the working life that led him and Alba to running the WS. You have got to love a place where people are happy to see you show up, whether you are toting a baby, a 6 year old, or just your spouse, don't you think? This is why these folks were voted the Favorite Breakfast Place in the hometown newspaper...they are not the Gourmet breakfast place, like Sweetiepie's but it is the people that bring us back. (well, them and the strawberry/banana waffles)

Stomach is grumbling with all of this breakfast talk...time to go make dinner.
