This has been a busy day...we were trying to find copies of TX Monthly magazine for the family, and we drove to Cisco, then visited at the nursing home with Aunt Orella. She is such a jewel. She loves where she is staying, loves all the nurses, the other residents, she is totally satisfied with the hand life has dealt her. She made all of us laugh with her humor. We were discussing how extremely hot is has been and she stated that with all this hot weather, Betty Faye had decided to change her ways. We all laughed at that joke, just as Betty Faye and Patsy appeared in her doorway ! We then stopped at Brookshires so I could buy my favorite food from their store...the fried chicken...it is sooooo good. I also bought enough for my neighbors, and we proceeded to come on home. We had lunch, shared with the neighbors, and the day continued on as usual, Benny cleaned the Bank, and then we went on to church. After church, we decided to go out to eat at our favorite cafe...where everybody in town meets and eats and laughs about our days happenings. We ordered, then visited with friends in the next booth. A group of people had ordered and were sitting across from us...young couple, new baby, blessed grandparents, and the meals were being served. We had ordered the same thing, steak fingers and baked potato. Our dinners arrived, mine was set on the table, then Bennys' and we began our meal. I noticed he had french fries, and we figured it was just a simple mistake, we had the ketchup on the table, so no big deal, we love anything they cook down there anyway. About that time,the family across from us told the waitress they had not ordered a baked potato, so the waitress, a friend of ours, laughed, picked up the potato, came by us, said.."Oh ! You ordered a baked potato..and she sat it on the table...proceeded to get another plate of french fries for the other family. Almost half-way through the meal, Benny winked at me and laughed, said that he thought his steak fingers were a little pale...he had been given chicken strips, but we do not complain, we just laughed about it and continued to eat...Benny said, "I bet they got my steak fingers" and we continued to enjoy the good food. As the meal was almost over, the young new mother across from us stated, "Gee, this chicken is sure dark meat" and I lost it...I busted out laughing and told her, "Well, I think you got the chicken that said Moooooo" and we all started to laugh. The guys next to us told her she was just eating guinea and it would be alright. The waitress realized the mistake and told them she was sorry, but it was just too funny. One thing about a small town, no one gets upset, we laugh it off and go about our day. The waitress came by and told Benny..."You still did not eat your potato" (He had eaten the french fries) so he just picked it up and put it in his pocket and said, "Well, we will just have hash browns with it in the morning". Only in small town America !
