Sounds like a great place to eat and oh my your food looked so yummy. I find it funny about listening to people's conversations and they don't even know it. Seems a bit like spying but I bet you hear a lot of very interesting things that way. The conversation of the men about the Model Train set brought back memories of my dad who enjoyed putting together a model train set.

I thought it was great. We all have plans that don't work, we just don't all write about them. By writing about it, you have shown us good things can still happen even if plan A doesn't work out.

Like you, I get a little bent out of shape when my carefully designed plans fall apart. But I totally agree that we learn so much from our so-called failures. And, in the end, today's installment of the Chronicles is a favorite of mine. You bring so much of yourself to every thing you write. One is not a lonely number - it's a powerful one!Donna Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102284065955298362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-27861011691701727652014-04-21T22:42:41.037-04:002014-04-21T22:42:41.037-04:00Good strategy.

It reminds me of when we go out to eat sometimes, and our first choice has a huge waiting line - which we will not stand or sit for, and just move on. Most times, the alternative ends up being better anyway. From the looks of the breakfast, it appears to have turned out great, with a lot more chatter. I chuckled at the "extra loud" lady talking.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097377480944079836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-54759330392482161222014-04-20T22:03:17.447-04:002014-04-20T22:03:17.447-04:00Doesn't sound like a failure!
