Kaitlyn,
Billy and I were at the Meadows Diner for lunch yesterday and we finish, got up
and walked out! We had a very nice lunch and were off on the hunt for
purple roses to visit Kathy.
I
woke up with that 'aha' moment this morning and realized YIKES I never paid the
check!! I didn't even wait for it to come; we just walked out with not a
care in the world.

I
walked in this morning and snagged Maria and started my rant and said
“Maria!! I was in yesterday with the kids and totally walked out and
never paid the check. I had the kids, my brother and dad popped over and
interrupted me and ..” she stopped me mid explanation and said "Honey,
honey calm down what are you so flustered for? It’s no big deal, just
breathe, we'll figure it out."
I
looked her straight in the eye and said "well you know what it is I not am
not use to paying this check business, LOL."
We
both laughed hysterically at that, figured everything out and it's settled now
plus the waiter got a $10 tip on a $20 check, LOL!
Maria
was a great sport about it; in fact she told me “honey listen to me it
seriously happens all the time and mostly with the regulars and when they
realize they just come back and it’s settled no big deal. We’ve been in
business so long even before you were born and a few checks here and there are
not going to close us down.”
She
said “listen honey have a Happy Easter are you doing the breakfast? I
know about that because your mother and I were chatting one year and I said to
her no wonder why our business is so slow on Easter morning, half of Blackwood
is at your house! Enjoy and I am happy you are keeping the tradition up,
mommy is smiling down on you guys, always remember that.

It’s
amazing how a short Greek woman can brighten up a bittersweet
holiday!
