Guess where we went today




     Okay so here I am staring at this photo at the old Coffee shop with four of the kids.  How fun has it been over the years to come and visit Patricia and the gals.  A long time ago when the shop first opened, I would take Jimmy over with Grammy Frannie and we'd go into the back room that is long gone.  Mum would pull out some board games or a game of checkers and keep jimmy busy for the time while we drank our coffee's.  As the years went by we got to know the owner, Patricia, who would come over to the kids, especially jack, and pour them soda into a coffee cup and let them think they were drinking coffee like the adults.  With Jack, Patricia would usually tell us to sit down and she would take over with his drink and spoil the heck out of him.  It was so cute and he would call Patricia his girlfriend.....He had a couple of girlfriends but Patricia was his first....So much so that he was very slow to talk to her when we went inside...Now, that's love!!! 
So through the years, we have made this place a staple whenever we got over to Black Gordon or go on the Trolleys....or anywhere downtown for that matter.......Wherever we go its always a treat to make a stop there with old friends......


The kids love the Keep Off sign .....such law breakers!!!
