A Hint of Familiarity

We parked across the street in the same spot that I had parked in for years.

We walked in the same door.

We were greeted by the same friend

We sat at the same table.

We ordered the same food.

The kids woke up before 0600 to get there before anyone else, we wore masks when we walked in and until our food was served, and we couldn’t see Darlene’s smile when we arrived, because she was masked too (although her excitement was palpable, nonetheless). Even still, it was the best breakfast that we’d had in months.
