Sunday at Olga's Restaurant

Here is another up beat blog entry. I hope you can handle it!

We went to Olga's for breakfast... so many cars parked out front. We went in and it was packed with no place to sit.

Damn!

Not to worry. A friend shared his table with us. We did have to listen to his "The World's Coming To An End" rhetoric for a while, until we could crank the conversation around to more satisfying stuff...who did what while we were gone...gossip.

Ah, much better!

It was fun to see the place hopping. There have not been enough tourist and snow birds to fill it since last March. She really needs the business after a brutal off season!

The place was at a dull roar. Full of energy and camaraderie. A fun place to be. We visited with several friends and eventually Olga came up for a breath and came to our table.

A huge hug, a glorious smile and Spanish from Olga is just the best! A great way to start the morning.

After lunch, we attended, for the first time, the annual fund raising auction. People have been talking about this all year. The Rotary and Lions club, in unprecedented cooperation, put on the big event.

There were numerous items and services in a silent action. A big live auction. And plenty of food from sandwiches to baked goods to sweets, plus of course wine and beer flowing copiously.

We met another bunch of friends, some of whom we hadn't seen for months. That was great!

As it turns out, friends sure do make life satisfying.

We returned home to continue putting up the Christmas tree...er...I watched Yella put up the tree.

The sun was starting to go down on a breezy, pleasantly cool afternoon...after a great day!

Are you tired of this happy horse shit yet?

I do prefer this life to one I was living last year!

But I could make some stuff up on the negative side, if you want.
