Breakfast with Dolores

We have a long standing tradition of going out to breakfast on Sunday morning. Today was no different, and soon after getting up we set out on a quest to find a good breakfast place. We drove from the RV park to downtown Livingston, discovered the Courthouse Cafe, and decided to try it, especially because they had large stained glass decorations in their windows. A lady took us to our seats, and our waitress appeared and quickly got us coffee and iced water. We ordered egg dishes, and HW2 had grits (which were wonderful), and I had a small stack of pancakes. HW2 mentioned that she liked the way that our waitress had had her hair cut and asked her where she got it done. She informed HW2 that she got it done in Onalaska, which was about seven miles away. She also mentioned it was a razor cut and was very pleased to be asked, (a Venus thing, I am sure). I suggested to HW2 that if she would also get hers dyed red, I would give her money. This suggestion was not met with much appreciation.

Our food arrived, and our waitress checked to see that everything was as requested, and indeed the bacon was crisp, and the eggs done perfectly. We suggested to her that she must have done a terrific job in the kitchen, as well as being a terrific waitress. We then learned that her name was Dolores and that on Tuesday she is getting married in the town gazebo just across the street and next to the court house. They even published their names in the paper and listed their ages. He is 61 and she is two years older. She will wear a lime green dress (which will go well with the red hair), grey shoes and silver leaf decorations on the dress. He is quite well to do, and she is hoping he will buy her a condominium with all new furniture. We wished her well and much happiness. Then she informed us that her last name used to be Flores. I liked that: Delores Flores (Has a nice ring, don't you think?) . I informed her that in Omaha we had a great weatherman named Jim Flowers, although we called him Jaimie Flores. Do you suppose that they could be related? She then wanted to know if we spoke Spanish, and I replied in Spanish, "a little." She responded with some English and some Spanish, as did we, and we both got hugs at the end. HW2 was a bit disappointed that we didn't get invited to the wedding, but Dolores is definitely a candidate for the Christmas list. Cin, cin!

PS The owner of the cafe told us that the stained glass is made on the cheap in Indonesia. This glass person was a bit offended about that. Cheap imports can sure cut into your business
PS2 from HW2: Ya'll should see her ring! And she said it was NUTHIN compared to the guard ring and wedding band that matches it! I'm betting on a completely new townhouse!
