Well, today is the day. I had to go to town to have lunch with someone that I havn't seen in awhile, and all the way in, I kept thinking of what I could do. I had a few ideas, but when the time came, I ended up doing something other than any of my thoughts.
When we got to the little cafe/restaurant, we walked in and it was completely fully, other than 2 tables...the one we sat at, and the one next to us. I immediately went up to the counter and told the people that I would be paying for my lunch, as well as the person(s) that would come in that would be the next to sit at that table. Since it is a small town and we go there a lot, they know us, so I explained to them that if by chance they do not come in before we leave, I would leave my CC number with them, OR, they could just catch up with me on the total the next time we came in.
It was kind of neat, as that way I had no idea whether it would be 1, 2, 3 or 4 people, had no idea as to whether they would be male or female, if they'd be young or old (or somewhere inbetween) or if they were coming for lunch or just a coffee.
It remained empty for awhile, and truthfully, I never even noticed anyone had sat down there until it was near time to leave. I just happened to glance over at it (I was seated with my back to that table) and I saw it was a man and woman. It looked like they were only having a light lunch, like maybe soup and a drink or something, but I wasn;t sure if more would be coming or not. Anyway, I went to pay, and was somewhat disappointed in that between our lunch and theirs, it only came to $22 or something. So obviously, they did not order more than what they had on the table before them.
Oh well, I tried. I just told the waitress to tell them to "Have a Nice Day", and that the bill had been taken care of. So that was my story, even though not as exciting as I had hoped it might be.
So here you go....my :birthdayto you! ENJOY special your day!!
