yup. it was the grove today my friends (after a short nap after taking shauna to the airport..). sure, they now serve sushi as well but we/i just ignore it - it's in the back and kept away from the eggs, i hope. i scooped-up the grabs and when we got there k-win and al were already there and ready to enjoy the goodness that is the grove breakfast. in fact, they had been so excited by the thought of it that they had already ordered their plates of steamy greatness. the garbs just had eggs and toast - no hash browns...just the basics...i, of course, had the eggs florentine..once a year i'm in that shit...once a year. see ya next year.
after breakfast i headed back to the garbs and mishi's to see the award winning door and open up my box of goodies they had gotten for me...unexpected as i hadn't gotten them anything...although the garbs said he had nothing to do with it and that it was all mishi...well, thanks mishi - some good jingus in that box ....
then i went and opened the pickle...sure, i had my doubts i'd sell anything. the rest of the island stores were closed, not a lot of folks heading down there, but i had faith. i settled in, after setting up shop, and began to read a new book shauna had bought me and expected nothing...then, like a beacon in the night....a couple of customers..no sale...then, a while later, a family came in...and like a miracle not unlike the baby jesus, they bought something..and they were stoked about it...and i felt good about my day...thank you jesus, thank you lord.
then it was of to issy's where she had a turkey in the oven big enough to feed the neighbourhood...a few more folks were suppose to show-up but in the end it was just gary, kat, issy and me...four of us trying our best to get through a 25lb turkey...and all the trimmings...good work issy! another winner....
ok...i need a nap...
i love you all...
