A funny thing happened........

Well here I am again trying to think that possibly, just maybe I too can be a writer!
I have the most interesting customers come into this fine Cafe that the Lord has blessed us with.. Us being Mark, my husband, the behind the scenes guy, and Me...up front and center. We know that the Lord has blessed us with this place because it's still here!
Anyways, back to the cafe. Every day there are 3 ladies that come in.; not all at the same time but none the less they bless us every day, sometimes 3 and 4 times a day. These ladies just live around the corner and look to us as family. They come in for coffee, toast tea or just to show us what they have gotten as a gift. They tell us of their winnings at the casino, and their losses. All three of these ladies are on a disabillity pension. Two of the three run a tab with us, which are the only ones we allow, because of their limited income. It's ok, they will not break us. There are also times when they come in, we just don't mark down their purchases. They are very sweet ladies and Mark has given them all nicknames. One is Smokey as she always has a smoke in her mouth, her sidekick, the one that comes in with her often is the Bandit...no need to explain, if you know the movie(Smokey and the Bandit) and the other is Bob...her name is Barb.
To know Mark is to love him and if you become fortunate enough, he will also give you a nickname! I have one, have for years and if you listen close, you will hear him call me this at times in the kitchen! These three ladies that come in are in so often that even other regular customers are calling them by their nicknames because they hear Mark doing so. These ladies also know that this is only a term of endearment on Mark's part.
We also have a couple of daily bus drivers in, Big Al and Big Daddy! We have a Carrot Cake Barb, the peanut dudes, Bubba, Jr, Sr, ...the list goes on. So I dare you, come on in, come on, and see what your name becomes. Who knows, your new name could become a menu item... We have a Gord Omelette already, a Sparky Burger, Big Al's Special, and a Dan Burger.
We all have fun here and as I said before, we are one big happy family. You know how families are, very unique! and that we are down here at the Cafe.
