I just got crankier!
Today we took Pup to our favorite outdoor cafe, Pup has been welcome there since he was a wee bit of fluff.
Because some man complained last week about a dog, (they are allowed in outdoor cafes)...our cafe told us we would have to sit in the back garden where no one would see him
Part of the fun of eating in this place is to sit in the front on the sidewalk and people watch...
whine whine...((&)) was happy just to be in the shade .

I also think I am tired of people saying the word Divine! There is something so so "Gushy" about it!!

Thanks Annes and Marylyn, he was a doll. When I rode him in the basket of my bike, the MDC police along the Charles river would kidnap him when things were slow and we were thrown out of more restos and bars. I would smuggle him asleep in a shopping bag but once he got bored, he'd pop up. OH, OH, out we go. The Ritz was the only place that turned an eye and that was because I lived and worked on the street so they knew us on our daily walks.Cranky was a guy, a boyfriend of my friend who took me to lunch at a cafe, I had the dog with me and when I gave the dog a piece of my food, he snapped and said I am buying you lunch, not the dod too. If you saw the morsel I fed my little dog, you'd laugh. The happy ending is she dumped him without my telling her what I thought of him.

Hi Miss Scarlett,
Just thought I would add my thoughts.
I do not appreciate the check being dropped off at the table too soon.

I really hate how so few places use table clothes and napkins anymore and the way silverware is now thrown at you in a pile on the table. What is that ALL ABOUT? I also hate all the wrappings and trash that can accumulate on a table from packets of this or that. I am refering to California. Does this happen elsewhere are have we taken "casual" to yet another new LOW?
