What a night

One of those magic travel chances. I’d seen the restaurant at lunch–but it was packed with reservations on the last two tables. A good sign, I thought. Took S in the evening, just after 6. The surrounding businesses we mostly closed. I think this place is really a lunch place but the proprietor warmly welcomed us–and could feed us as long as we were willing to eat a “sandwich”.
It was a homey place, cute illustrations of kitchens with bears in aprons and English mottos: home is where the heart is, etc.
The only other person to show up was the proprietor’s friend, a man with a guitar. They turned off the television and asked us if it was ok if they played.
Amazing. What a night. We are so blessed. M
