I have been putting off going grocery shopping for too long. This is something I have been prone to for the last couple of years (yes, since my widowhood). This morning I had the bright idea to go out to breakfast (because there was little food in the house and no breakfast food) then shopping. Sort of a bribe in advance. Accordingly, I headed to the Hometown Diner in Mohawk, NY.
I have been there several times and enjoyed it quite a bit. Today I went for one of my favorites: a breakfast sandwich on an English muffin with sausage, egg and cheese. I worked on a letter to my friend Kim while I waited for it. I did not have long to wait, which was just as well, because I did not have much to say in the letter.
As I got up to go to the rest room, I noticed the Valentine’s Day decorations. Nice! I had noticed some sparkly red earlier but thought it was left from Christmas. I congratulated the staff for being so up to date.
Not the ones I thought were left over from Christmas.
Naturally I took a couple of pictures for blog post purposes. It was a delicious breakfast, but it kind of backfired on me. When I got to the supermarket, I was still full, so none of the food looked particularly appetizing. The usual advice of “Don’t shop on an empty stomach” does not work for me. However, I did manage to purchase a few things, including some toaster waffles and a dozen eggs. At least breakfast is set! Then again, breakfast out is always nice.
Had to get a close-up of this cute guy!
