We have been quiet this week. Busier than last year at this time, but quiet all the same.

The problem with being quiet is that not much happens to write about.

So let me tell you about our first reservation of the night.

Let’s call them the Smiths.

They arrived early, which is often then case with 5:00 reservations. They’d be eating at 4:00 if we were open at 4:00.

They were seated immediately.

They ate dinner quickly.

And left around 6:15.

What I learned after they left was:

They’d been married 52 years. They still loved each other deeply.

They met in 7th grade at a school dance and have been together ever since.

They were so sweet. So cute.

Such wonderful people.

This is my good news talk for the week.
