Morning! Its 6:05, I think it's about the best time of
the day. Better gets the coffee perking at Pete's Place.
We have to set up tables for the surplus of
bakery goods. We have two boxes of pastries, boy oh boy!
There’s Cherry Cheesecake and a lot of dark
bread.
People always ask for dark instead of the white
bread.
Slim is late coming in to fix breakfast, now;
I’ll have to help him besides doing my own work. We serve a light breakfast of pancakes,
eggs, toast, grits, juice and coffee for $2.99. Most of our customers are elderly;
they eat and go to the card room to play Sheep’s Head.
Freda comes in for pastries; she’ll have one
eaten before she even gets home. She’s such a nice lady, always making me
laugh. She seems to cry a lot, she grew up in Germany during the war, her
childhood was very sad!
Pete's Place is the meeting spot for the
buses that go to different places.
One day, a ninety-three year old woman came
in on her way to the casino; I guess you are never too old!
Just think of all the history she has seen
through the years.
