Memorial Day Thanks

USA

This weekend means happy days at the beach or cabin with an extra day off. But to a lot of people this is a sad weekend, as they miss someone they loved who may have given their lives in service to our country. So I try to be sensitive to that fact and let people know that I appreciate what the men and women in our armed forces are doing and have done for us.

Mother’s Day Brunch

There is a little coffee shop in Franklin that I stop by at least once a week. I just love their caramel coffee and it is much less expensive than Starbucks. So when I stopped in last Thursday I noticed a little sign announcing a Mother’s Day brunch. Since this isn’t really a full service restaurant, I was surprised. But it turns out that one of the owners is a retired chef, and once a year, on Mother’s Day, he likes to cook up a huge special brunch menu for his wife and daughter, and they decided to offer the same delicious spread to their customers. I thought that was an awesome story.
